"Jump In with Both Feet"

From 5th actually, but going back to this because was so good to hear ..

Look at the new thing I am going to do.  It is already happening.  Don't you see it?  I will make a road in the desert.  I will make rivers in the dry land. -Isa 43:19 [ICB]
Behold, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs forth; do you not perceive and know itand will you not give heed to it? I will even make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. [Amplified]

From Sarah Young's Jesus Calling 365 Devotions for Kids:
"You will never be in complete control of your life.  It just isn't possible.  You want to feel completely safe and secure.  But even if you plan out every detail, the world will mess up your plans.

So, just stop trying to be in control.  Stop trying to make your life completely safe and predictable - and boring!  Instead grab My hand and jump in with both feet.  I am the One who loves you completely and wants only the best for you.  I want your life to be an amazing adventure - filled with new things.  But first you have to let go of old ways of doing things.  Then, grab hold of My hand, and look for all the exciting new things I've prepared for you!

Rom8:38-39 (two days in a row, today from Intouch 33-39)
Ps 56:3-4 - What time I am afraid, I will have confidence in and put my trust and reliance in You.  By [the help of] God I will praise His word; on God I lean, rely, and confidently put my trust; I will not fear.  What can man, who is flesh, do to me.

What's up with the moments when my feet don't follow, much to my chagrin.
