Well, this is a picture of me in 1985. If you were thinking that this kid is about to see if that umbrella works like a parachute. You would be 100% right. That is exactly what I was doing.
But a more important question would be... Who is holding the camera??? I bet it was my dad!
Sometimes...When you are nearing the end of a Wilderness period of your life, you will come to a place where you need to jump and cross a Threshold.
The Threshold is when you cross over and do the thing you have been dreading, but you know it will lead you home. You finally tell your wife the truth. You leave the job you have been tied to. You get fired from the job you thought you needed. You finally say the words out loud that you have been holding in for so long, even if it costs you. You finally let go of control and let God take over. This is the Threshold. And to move forward in your Holy Work journey, you MUST cross it. I don't know what it is for you, but time and time again I have seen this path lead to the freedom and contentment God has for us. His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
Oh, and I jumped here and landed in a big pile of leaves. The umbrella did not work and it knocked the air out of me. But I got up and kept going.
