Parachute.

Have you ever been in those situations where you were just too scared to commit yourself? I find myself in these situations more often than I tend to realize. It's usually during those times that God is telling me to do something and it puts me out of my comfort zone... (Or when I'm too scared to commit myself to a relationship, but that's for an entirely different post) I'm sure you have had those times as well. You know, when God says "do this" and you think "you're kidding me, right?" Until finally He tells you that you are just scared. Which is usually pretty accurate for me. No one likes feeling uncomfortable or placing themselves in a situation where they have to fall/surrender. But a good friend of mine went skydiving recently and gave me a bit of advice that she didn't realize would stick with me. She told me that once you get the courage to jump, the fall is worth it all. So, why not give God a chance and let Him be your parachute? Let Him lead you in the right direction, sure you'll still make mistakes, and you will still be placed in those uncomfortable situations but the fall is worth it all.

And who knew Train was so good at writing music? I love this song and it fits perfectly with this topic. So enjoy some good music while you're at it. :)

I wanna take you with me

to life with no more yesterdays

we can start again awake and so excited

and change the way we always push

we always push

I'll open up and be your parachute

and I'll never let you down

so open up and be my human angel

and we'll only hit the ground

running

and when the world gets sharp and tries to cut you down to size

and makes you feel like giving in

oh, I will stay, I will rain, I will wash the words and pain away

and I will chase away the way we push

the way we pull

you're beautiful

I'll open up and be your parachute

and I'll never let you down

so open up and be my human angel

and we'll only hit the ground

running

and if it feels like we might drop

it will stop

so don't look down

it wouldn't be the same without you

this life is too good to give up on

I'll open up and be your parachute

and I'll never let you down

so open up and be my human angel

and we'll only hit the ground

and we're gonna hit the ground

running
