free fall of life.

Trust? Faith? Crazy?...
Today I took the long way home, around the lake, and as I was driving I saw some people sky diving... I was watching as they were gliding through the air, some of them seemed like they were out of control, their bodies flinging about through the air, they looked like they were going to land right smack dab in the middle of the road, or some, looked like they were falling way too fast... all I could think was "how crazy"... who just jumps out of a plane? who has that much faith, or trust that its going to be OK, that they're not going to plummet to their deaths or land in the middle of the road and get hit by a semi-truck, how are they able to just hop on out of a plane and feel like its a grand plan? what trust...
well, then it got my wheels a turnin'...and I started to think about Jesus... sometimes the way He calls us to live is kind of like jumping out of a plane, you have to be all in! because more then likely the way He calls us to live is crazy, its not easy, it doesn't always make sense in the moment, sometimes it feels like we are plummeting to our very own deaths... but He has control, He is the parachute that carrys us, only the good thing about Jesus is we never have to doubt whether or not He is going to open, the Jesus parachute ALWAYS opens, we just have to pull the cord! hmmm... sometimes we are falling, and falling fast, sometimes there are those that smash into the ground all because they never pulled the cord, the cord isn't going to pull itself, we have to pull it! Jesus is there!
I cant imagine my life 6 months ago if I never pulled my Jesus cord! I would be smashed pancake on the ground.
I love this about Jesus, He isn't going to force us, he isn't going to make us do something or make us choose Him! we have to choose him for our selves, we have to recognize our need, our desperate need for a parachute in life's free fall from a plane...

OK, that was a ramble, I had like a million light bulbs going off all at once! oh dear... circles, its how I communicate.
