Reverb 10 – Wisdom

What was the wisest decision you made this year, and how did it play out?

I made the decision to jump.  I stepped out of the safety and security of the known and flung myself, almost with a sense of relief, into the unknown. I made a conscious decision to be alone again.  And yet to be closer to my loved ones than I have ever been.  I decided that my holistic life was more important than loving my job; and that to be a complete human being I needed to have a job for which I had great passion  that was not designed to consume all my time, energy, and soul. 

I decided to be brave and admit that I don’t know what I want, but I do know I wasn’t living it.  Then I decided it was time, at 31 years old, to go find it.   Whatever the elusive “it” may be.

What I have found is a sense of place and home that I have not felt in years.  I have a sense of self and purpose that before had evaded my grasp.

My wisdom:  It is scary to take a leap of faith.  But if you are following the path God has for you, you are jumping off a cliff and straight into His waiting arms.
