Take me where I've never been
I want to go there
This time I'm not scared
Now I am unbreakable, It's unmistakable
No one can touch me
Nothing can stop me.
Sometimes its hard to just keep going
But FAITH is moving without knowing
Can I trust what I can't see
To reach my destiny
I want to take control, but I know better.
Forget the fear, it's just a crutch
That tries to hold you back
And turn your dreams to dust
All you need to do is just trust!"
--Unbreakable, by FIREFLIGHT
I heard this song today and it really hit home with me. I want to go to a place that I have never been before. Saying that alone out loud is taunting, but it puts one in a position of not "figuring it all out" but living by faith. "Faith requires risks" a great friend said to me, but it also strengthens and builds. It removes the crutch of comfort and fear and builds trust. Webster defines risk as: the chance that an investment will lose value. Instantly, our minds go to the negative. The other side to this definition is the investment will gain, grow, build, mature, expand...
Reaching our destiny, that which we are called to do and be will never be fully ascertained until we push those crutches away and walk forward. Not all things must be figured out, but one thing that must be clear is where you are going. Not only where you are going is vital, but I am finding as equally important that it is who is going with you. It may not be that they are physically going with you or literally; simply those that are willing to invest their risk factor and faith with you and along side you to see you reach that destiny. It is those that will remove the crutches and to be the encouragers, strentheners, comforters, and believers! These are are the people that will not allow your dreams to become dust because they too believe in you and your dreams!
So where are you? Are you leaning on the crutches of fear or comfort? Does the dust behind your feet resemble the dreams that once burned deep within your heart? Are you willing to no longer control and risk??? Dream...and reach for that destiny. Believe and move forward...one step at a time...
