I posted this picture on Instagram (@suebidstrup) and Facebook (Great Big YES) yesterday. If you are not following, please do! It’s fun!
I have been thinking about this picture and how awesome it is that this person is out there trusting, letting the wind carry him.
We don’t have to kite surf. I’ve never done it. But that doesn’t mean the wind isn’t blowing.
That guy purposefully got on that board, put the kite up and launched off into an experience he didn’t control but with every expectation that it was going to be good. Fun. Exciting.
He doesn’t have to kite surf. He “gets to”.
We don’t have to walk with God. We don’t have to read His Word. We don’t have to trust the Holy Spirit. We don’t have to do any of that. It’s a “get to”.
Regardless of what I do, God is still God.
I’m so grateful I “get to” be on this ride…trusting in Him. I am grateful that He is near and He doesn’t hide from me.
I picture Him watching me as I relinquish my perceived control and look up into the sun, open my heart and my hands and with my hair flying in the wind, I answer “Yes, Lord, here I am.”
And together, we ride the waves.
