Just One Step

MORNING THOUGHTS ☕️: Years ago, we were in Maui. Dreamy. We were standing in line for lunch and I looked up and saw a sign:

WARNING!!!

*Man-of-War

*Strong Currents

*Sharp Shells

*Slippery Rocks

*Sudden Drop-offs

*No Lifeguard on Duty

*Swim at your own risk.

Ummmm. You read that sign and think “Waiter! Get me a mai tai! I’m gonna sit right here and not move!” :)

But then. I took JUST ONE STEP beyond that sign. Like I literally stepped AROUND IT to take a look. The sight was breathtaking. Glorious. Inviting. It was like the whole world opened up before my eyes and I could not NOT go.

Isn’t that just how it is with life. We see and feel and for sure are TOLD about all the warnings and possible things that could go WRONG. People who love us want to protect us. Lord have mercy, our minds are setup to do the same. But what if we go through life reading the warning signs and not take steps forward!?! Just think about what we will miss.

Sure…danger may lie ahead…but I’ll bet the view will make it all worth it. Take just one step today in an area that seems scary and see if the scenery changes.
