Take a step...

I guess we are at the mid-way point in January. This is when things are going to get crazy. School is back in session, getting more hours at work and riding my beautiful horse. Balancing is going to soon become my middle name...

Today( or I should say tonight) was my first day in class.. I have already been in a few since a majority of the the five are online. It was a nice intro... not sure what to expect but if it is anything like last semesters class I will be intrigued.

Have you ever had that feeling in the pit of your stomach like something is going to happen or something already has... or maybe its just that you forgot to feed the dog... Well that is how I am feeling at the moment. For no obvious reason, other than I am stressed about my new work load.

With stress comes fear and that fear leads you to hold on when you should just let go. Some problems are too BIG for you to solve by yourself. Take a step... Challenge yourself to take the step to let go.

"Come," he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

~Matthew 14:29

Peter took that step towards Jesus when he called.. Was it scary? YES. But he still did it. Just like him I am taking that step of faith to leap out of myself and let go of the past, let go of the things I can't control and let go of what I think is best... trusting in the one that knows it all.

With that I end my evening sitting in bed dreaming of how beautiful the world is... and how stress can make it seem so ugly. Let go, I keep telling myself. Anyone want to join???
