how the T came to be

First..... currently dancing to

"Here In Your Arms" by: Hellogoodbye

Second: I have mostly ruled out the D.R., but I still am holding on to it a little

Third: This is how I decided to name the blog "Trail Leaping"

(Please press play on the below video to listen you while you read.)

About 2 months ago or so I was talking with a friend about what I my next "life move" was going to be. At that point I knew it was time to leave Tulsa, but I hadn't figured out where I was going to be leaving to. My friend was really encouraging and in the course of the conversation used the word term "trail-blazer".

Then there is Joyce Meyer.

People could call her trail blazer, but if you read any of her books she didn't not end up where she is quickly. She would admit to most of the time to not even knowing where she was going.

That is what I think happen to most people anyway. Pretty much we do not really know where we are going.

Enter the Carmen song..... there is a line that says "Walkin' out on the promises God made

Takin' a giant leap in the air"

Maybe we are so much as "trail blazing"....... but trail leaping.

Insert my made up definition here:

trail leaping (t-ra-ale lee-p-ing) v. the act of trailing after God and his will by taking leaps through the air into nothing, trusting him that you will land in the right spot that will appear as he uncovers them

insert scriptural thought here:

Abraham trail leapt. Romans 4.

Purple= the leaping part.

¹⁹Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead.²⁰Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God, ²¹being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

The title of my blog also makes me think of lily pads or a sky diver.

OK insert your thoughts.... I want your opinion or other analogies you can think of.
