Tell me, how many times have you taken a leap of faith? Does this expression actually refer to faith in yourself, others or both?
I rarely take a leap of faith in people I don’t know. In fact I’m one of those who keeps everyone at an arms distance. Never giving the game away, never letting others know how I truly feel. Never letting anyone in.
But over the past few weeks, I’ve let someone in. Well, more in than I normally would a stranger. Cos at the end of the day that’s who this person is. A stranger. To me and to my family.
I feel a weird sense of hope, anticipation….. faith. But at the same time I’m feeling a little unnerved, vulnerable and scared. Scared of the unknown, vulnerable as I could get hurt and the way in which we have made contact, a little unnerving.
I guess only time will tell if this leap of faith is fruitful or not. Life changing or not. But whatever happens, I’m sure there will be a lesson to be learned.
