Daring to be....Me

Here's a thought in response to "The Bearded's" comment concerning stepping out in faith or staying in the boat....

From Erwin McManus', "Seizing Your Divine Moment"

Ayden waited as Maven sat patiently by the fire. his silence only made the time pass more slowly.

What was he listening for? only the wind dared speak. Would his commission come from the mountain's breath? Would the north or the east call his name?

How would he know when to leave and begin his pilgrimage? How would he know which way to go?

When he could bear it no longer, he chanced to interrupt his mentor and blurted out, "When will I begin?"

"Now," Maven replied.

"Then which way do I go?" Ayden could not hide his frustration in his asking.

Maven instructed, "Anywhere there's not a path."

Suddenly Ayden realized that all through the night it was Maven who waited on him.
