Taking a Leap of Faith
I know that many of us get stuck in a regiment, continue to follow it, because it’s easy to do, we know what we’re doing - but we’re not happy or using our full potential.
I was listening to Joel Osteen one day and just say there thinking of how stuck inside my own walls I was. I felt empowered after hearing him say that we can do better and that we can change our lives and participate fully in something that we are called to do. I felt butterflies in my stomach as I realized that I needed to take a stand and go for the job that I wanted to get.
To do so, I needed to make some financial sacrifice to move forward in this new venture for myself. I knew in my heart and my soul that I was ready for this next step, and just like Joel Osteen commented, that sometimes we just need to take a leap of faith.
I put in my resignation at my former employer, and I studied diligently to get my CDA which would put me in line for the job I have now, teaching preschool. I wanted it more than anything. I could taste the yearning and the greatness of the opportunity. I did need to take that leap of faith, and I’m so glad I did. I listened to my hearts call. I was inspired by what Joel Osteen had to say, and I will continue to remember that sometimes we just need to take that leap of faith.
