Baby steps are what I'm taking; shaky and unsure. I grip his hand.

Even with the light of day I cannot see; the extent of his love is too bright to see and too bright to know.
But I will follow, I will strive to know.

Baby steps, that's how He is moving me.
Take my hand and don't let go.
Help me on my feet,
I will follow and I will know.

After college I have taken a step away from society. God has taught me many things in my transience. He has shown me the gift of life. He has shown me that every moment is to be treated with respect. Every moment of life is not promised to us; it is a gift.

Perhaps the most influential quote I've come across in my two years of transience is this: "All around you people will be tip-toeing through life, just to arrive at death safely."

From that
I have learned to live boldly; to act intently and with purpose. To make my steps count. The baby steps I am taking are no longer shaky and unsure. I have gripped His hand and He has never let go. It is only in Him that I am able to walk boldly through my life. Because of God's grip of my hand, no one will be able to say I tiptoed through life, just to arrive at death safely. In my weakness, God's power is made perfect.
