No Fear

I know I talked about change yesterday, but I feel compelled to talk about what happened last night. Last night when I got home my daughter changed before my eyes!  She has been riding a bike with training wheels really good and has been begging her Daddy to take them off - well I guess being home with them all day yesterday he got tired of her asking - well low and behold once I turned the corner on our street there she went just a peddling and riding her bike like she had been riding it all her life!  He reminded her if she fell he would be there to pick her up and she would be okay.  I was in amazement how good she rode - not wobbly at all!  I remember being so scared at that age - but she had no fear. It got me thinking... (I know scary right!) I thought maybe if we all let go of the stress and anxiety and just went for it - how much we might succeed just a little more.

I wondered last night before I went to bed if I could be that fearless with my faith as she was riding a bike.  In my life I get so caught up in the everyday life that I forget about the small stuff that matters.  My prayer for her last night was that she keeps her faith like she rode her bike - no fear in her walk with our Lord for her to let go and just let him take the lead and control everything.  I also prayed that my walk with God and my faith would be like Paige riding a bike for the first time - no fear and pure excitement: riding through the streets smiling, laughing and knowing if she / I fall our Lord will be there to pick us up - just like her Daddy was there to pick her up when she fell off her bike.

Until next time....
