Writing in the sky...

An airplane writing in the sky... that would be a great way to hear from God and have no doubts of what you are hearing... God could just answer our questions and point us in the right direction by spelling it out in the sky... life would be simple... no doubts... no questions left unanswered... no acts of faith... no need to trust... because life would be all spelled out without a doubt.... BUT... then,... how fun would that be?!  Where would the adventure in life be if all our questions were always answered, having nothing left open to think and contemplate and figure out on our own?  BORING!.... We'd be puppets. We wouldn't have minds of our own because we wouldn't need to work on using it to figure out any problems... they'd all be answered.

Now, I'm not saying that there have not been multiple times in my life that I have wanted God to give me the answers, to spell out for me what I am supposed to do, what direction I am supposed to go....but then, that wouldn't show God that I trust Him with my life totally. That wouldn't be any fun...because there is fun,  in not knowing what the future holds.   Life is an adventure!  Having the unknown in front of us is what makes it fun! 

Today, I was talking to a good friend about some decisions about my future that I need to make. One of which I had to make today. This decision wasn't a small decision, it was a life altering decision and not just my life, but my children's as well. I literally had one day to make this decision. Take the leap of faith and go with my gut or allow my left brain to step in and cause doubt?... Hum.... I did much prayer and praise and waited for God to give me the peace in my heart with the decision I was making... I took the plunge!... Because life is an adventure! Taking the 'safe' way... isn't me. Taking the adventure route, the life altering route... sign me up! Life is short and without any adventure what's the point?

So, I'd been chatting with my friend a couple times throughout the day and on the final phone call, I am home and look into the clear blue sky to see three airplanes leaving white lines behind them... and I laughed!... God could have written the answer in the sky... but instead... I took a leap of faith and put my trust in God for my future! Life is an adventure afterall!
