Holding onto his daddy makes my little grandson feel safe and secure. Baby Hay loves going to the beach and wading out into the ocean, but once the cool water touches his knees, he starts to get scared. Looking out over the horizon you can see ships and it seems so calm; so inviting. People are surfing and swimming and their laughter fills the air. Baby Hay’s big sister doesn't mind the waves pushing her down. No, Bri is the fearless one that you have to hold back. He wants to go in but yet he is afraid. After a few minutes his daddy picks him up and carries him farther into the ocean reassuring him that everything is ok. One day I know I will see Baby Hay running into the water with his boogie board, surfing the waves. But for right now he will stay close to his daddy.
That is how life seems sometimes for me. I am ready to take on new challenges and soar with the wind. But fear keeps me from venturing away from the normal that I have created for my life. I want to try new things..but like Baby Hay, I am afraid. God places on my heart what He wants me to do and I get up my courage and set out to conquer the world. Then I begin to doubt what I thought the Lord told me to do. Is it just something I have conjured up in my mind? The waves force me to my knees and my face hit’s the floor, but my daddy is near and I hold on like Baby Hay. God is always near and I feel secure and safe. I imagine myself as a little girl holding on to my Father's leg. Wherever He goes I will go. Just like when I was a little girl and I clung to my daddy when things scared me. Now I lean on my daddy and hold him tight.
