Leaving

 Leaving...what a loaded word! One might be leaving home, leaving for work, leaving a perfectly good airplane to make a parachute jump, leaving prison, leaving court, leaving a marriage, leaving a home, leaving for war and leaving life!

I was inspired to make this video (as many of my videos are) by a film I was watching, 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry'. It is a fascinating film. I was particularly impacted by the moment when Harold Fry left the crowd of people walking with and supporting him, and decided to complete the 'journey' alone. The film left me with a question -  what does it take for someone to leave the 'crowd' and walk alone - what qualities within a person, enables them to do this? It begs the question - am I able to do this when needed? Am I strong enough? Do I have faith and convictions enough to do this? I don't know the answer to that question, but I know someone who has promised to sustain me when the going gets tough. He is my source of strength. He is the Truth and He shows the way. So, no, I don't know the answer to that question, but I don't need to...I just put my trust in Him and follow where He leads...and there is so much comfort and joy in that! (Proverbs 3:5-6)
