Faith vs Foolish

Jesus tells us in the Bible to lose our life and we will find it, as well as to not worry about the things of this world - clothes, food, drink - and it will be given to us ...
Why do we not live like this?  Even if you thought you had too much to lose or too much not to worry, wouldn't it be worth the risk to trust and see? 
I don't know about you, but I love life.  (And I don't mean just the breathing, existing sort of life.)  I mean surrendered, jumping into the unseen but know-able arms of God kind of life. The glimpses I've had are exhilerating and leave me unsatisfied with what is known and comfortable.
Currently I have a good paying, safe job with people I enjoy ... and yet for some reason I can't wait to leave it all behind and strain toward what is ahead. Jobs are good and providing for oneself and family is essential - God blesses that too. But for me, I can't wait to look back 3 months from now and see how He provides as I jumped out in faith - or foolishness as this world sees it :)

open hands

open hands are empty. they are seen as welcoming, but also as a sign of surrender. they're vulnerable.  they desire to be full, but allow the fullness to flow through them.

on a roller coaster to get the full effect of the ride people throw their open hands into the air ... if life is a roller coaster, I want the full experience.

open hands are raised in prayer ... to the creator of life, to the true lover of my life, and to the only one who can fill my life.

this blog is about my journey with my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ whom I follow with open hands.
