GET OUT OF THE PLANE!

Last Saturday I went skydiving! I had always wanted to go but I had never pursued the opportunity. I never will forget the feeling I had being at 12,000ft and having the instructor say, "now scoot off of the edge of the plane." I know to truly skydive you have to get out of the plane but it was a little easier to visualize getting out of the plane while the plane was still on the ground. Everyday we are confronted with opportunities that in order to experience them "we have to get out of the plane". It's scary stepping out into the unknown, but it so rewarding. The Bible says "faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen." (Hebrews 11:1) All of us have hopes and dreams. The challenge is to make sure the "things not seen" do not rob us of their fulfilment.
