"I'm Going in Like a Kamikaze"

The last time I spoke those words, I cast off every care I ever had, and jumped wholly into the unknown, ignorant of what awaited me. The Lord had spoken, and after wrestling with it for weeks, I finally let go. I made the move, I made the jump. I had nothing left to lose.

I find myself now in a similar situation. There is no going back. And so I must choose. Neither choice is safe. With one, I lose a part of myself and the God I've always known. With the other, I take the biggest risk I've ever faced. And so I have chosen. I will take the risk, and I will jump. If I am wrong, then let me be gloriously wrong. I know he whom I have believed, and if I perish, I perish.

Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, "This is the way; walk in it." (Isaiah 30:21)
