Leap of Faith

Skydiving was one of the most surreal yet grounding experiences I’ve ever had. Standing at the edge of the plane, every instinct in my body was screaming to stay put. My heart was pounding, and I couldn’t help but question what I’d gotten myself into. But when I finally took that leap, something shifted. The fear was still there, but it transformed into a rush of excitement mixed with surrender. 

In that moment of freefall, I realized how much it mirrors life. We all have those times when we know we need to take a leap of faith—whether it’s a big decision, a new chapter, or trusting ourselves enough to embrace change. It’s terrifying because the ground feels so far away, and the unknown stretches out in every direction. But once you jump, once you commit, you find a strange sense of calm in the freefall.

The wind rushing past, the vast openness around me, and the distant earth below made me feel both small and deeply connected. In that in-between space—where I was suspended between fear and faith—I found a peace I didn’t expect. And when the parachute opened and I began floating back down to earth, I felt more grounded than ever.

Taking that leap wasn’t about being fearless; it was about trusting that after the rush of uncertainty, I’d land exactly where I was meant to be. Sometimes, we have to embrace the unknown to discover just how capable we really are. And it’s in those scary jumps that we often find our footing, coming back down to earth with a stronger, clearer sense of who we are.

For me, that parachute is my faith in God. It’s knowing that no matter how uncertain or frightening the freefall feels, I’m never truly falling alone.

God is always there, steadying me and guiding me safely back to where I need to be. When I trust in Him, I’m reminded that even in life’s scariest leaps, His presence is what ultimately brings me peace, assurance, and a soft place to land.

Have you ever experienced skydiving? Or maybe share an experience that’s been a leap of faith for you. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

We are never alone as long as we have that faith and trust in God that He will be there for our leap, no matter how uncomfortable or difficult the journey might seem.
