Never in my Life

Never in my life

have I ever felt this much freedom

the possibilities are endless

as dreams are unfolding

God has blessed my life so much

I just want to live it out

I want to be wherever I need to be

with Him as my guide

He is always by my side

He goes before me

I never will fear

because

never in my life

has freedom been so clear

with adventure around the corner

and life to be lived each day

Never in my life…

This poem describes my life exactly.  Not too long ago, I was scared.  Fearful to step away, to leave the place I knew and loved.  I was afraid to get out of the boat and walk on water like the disciples who stayed in the boat.  I was scared I would fall, that I would sink.  I wanted to stay as close to what I knew as possible.  I wanted to be comfortable.  That all changed, when God finally got through to me.  The choice was clear.  I either had to take that step knowing he would be with me to lead me on the greatest adventure of my life, or stay close to what I knew which may have worked out alright but not have been as thrilling and faith driven.  Since I decided to take that step, there is no turning back.  He has led me through the fire, and I will come forth as gold.  He has led me through the joys and the pain, and my life will never be the same.  Although it is not easy, I have chosen the path that has so far led me on the greatest adventure of my life, and this in turn has given me the most freedom and peace that I have ever had.  As the old hymn says, “I have decided to follow Jesus, no turning back, no turning back.”  Yes, follow Jesus wherever He leads and do not turn back!!!
