Trust the Ropes

Dear World,

Last Wednesday the SITs were asked if they would like to stay later to try out the ropes course. (naturally i said yes) Never had i thought that 30 feet was so high! Before I went on the ropes course, our ELITE supervisor, Tokyo, told me that in order to completely trust the ropes, you just have to let yourself fall. Fall, and have faith that they will hold you up.

That, I think, is similar to Christianity. We're too scared to completely give ourselves up to the Lord. Have complete trust in the fact that if we fall, He will be there to hold us up. He won't let us hit the ground. But, there is still that second or two when the rope hasn't straightened out yet and grabbed your weight where you doubt that it could support you. When we're in the middle of the fall, we may have slight doubts about if He'll be there to hold us up. But then the rope tightens, it grabs your weight. Your hanging their, heart thumbing from those few moments of flight. You start to calm down and realize that these ropes do have you. They won't let you fall. You Trust them. God won't let us fall. He'll always be there to hold us up.

This was just something I was contemplating and decided to write in here.

In Him,
Maddie
