The Unknown

Have you ever heard of the saying “blind leading the blind?” Well, that’s exactly what life is like without allowing God to lead you. There are times where we are afraid to go into the unknown. I was once afraid to transition into the next season of my life. It was unfamiliar, uncomfortable, and unknown territory for me. I did everything I could to run from the next season of my life. I pushed people away, isolated myself until I was completely alone, felt bad for myself for the mess I had created, all because I was afraid to go into the unknown. Even though I knew who God was and what He could do, I was afraid to surrender, afraid to step into something new, afraid to give up what I was doing, because I knew when I did things were going to change. For some reason I was afraid of God’s love, afraid that I would have to live up to who I knew I could be. I was not happy living how I was; it was fake happiness, fake smiles, and a fake life. I knew that person wasn’t me, but I was afraid to be who I really was. I was lost, broken, and selfish, doing everything I could to make the people around me hate me. I felt I wasn’t capable of a love like His, until I came back to reality and experienced it. I trusted God and leaped into the unknown and became the person Christ always wanted me. Taking that leap validated that everything I did was for Him and not myself. Taking that leap validated my future, and erased my past. Taking that leap into the unknown made me who I am today and will shape me into who I am meant to be.
