In light of Sharl deciding to take a paratroupers course, I have done a lot of complaining and contemplating. I don't like that he's doing it.. I'm scared to death of it. I would be an utter mess should something go wrong. But I also respect the discipline that he is learning through this experience. Running his physical ability to the ground and pushing himself to explore his limits. It will all end in one glorious freefalling experience. I pray that everything goes smoothly for him and that he learn more than just the physical experience of the fall.

Faith in God is like skydiving.
If you show any sign of hesitation before you jump...that split second of fear will cause you will fail your mission.
If you jump with full gusto, with all your strength and all your courage, blindly relying on your parachute to save you life--you will float safely to the ground.

But first you have to jump.
And you have to pull the cord. You don't question whether you should pull the cord or not...waste time wondering if it will work or not. You just do it because you know it will save you.

If you don't jump, you will miss out on the thrill of your life, and if you don't pull the cord, then relying on your on your own insufficient means, you'll plunge to your own destruction.

Choosing to believe in God is taking the blind jump off of the airplane. IT's scary and there's no turning back. But reaching for the cord is putting your life in the hands of His son and relying on Him to bring you to safety. The landing might be rough, but you will be saved.

I also have faith that my bebe will be saved. I must try not to worry about him too much, cuase he will float safely to the ground once he pulls the cord.
God, I heart bebe so much.
