2 Corinthians 5:7 ” We live by what we believe (faith), not by what we can see (sight).”

Life has a funny way of making you get out your comfort zone and walking into unknownness. That comfort zone makes you feel safe and warm. Never wanting to see what’s really out in the world. You get stuck doing the same thing over and over again, everyday, only changing one thing from the previous day.

That’s all about to change for me because I decided to take a leap of faith, God-willingly, and walk out of my comfort zone into a world that will push me pass my boundaries and walking towards a new goal that I never thought I could even reach. Drum roll please……….I enlisted into the United States Air Force. Yes, you read that right, the USAF (Air Force). Crazy? Maybe, but who doesn’t like to challenge themselves and embrace a newfound world?

Don’t you ever just want to scream at yourself and say, “What are you DOING? You weren’t put here on Earth just to pay bills and eat Ramen Noodles!” No offense to anyone that likes Ramen noodles, but I rather eat some garlic shrimp while looking at the sunset. Maybe even have a sexy man feed me some grapes too!!! *A woman can dream right LOL*

I know what you are thinking, “She must be out of her mind to ever think of joining the military with everything that is going on.” Well, you are right, for the most part. But, its not all that bad. When you have an end goal that you want to reach, all the hard rocks and high mountains you will have to climb over, it will be all worth it.

We often tell people, especially young children, to never stop dreaming and you can reach any goal you set your mind on. But when did we stop listening to ourselves? When did we stop dreaming about becoming President or traveling the world in one year? We tend to limit ourselves to what we know, never trying to step out of our box and experience something magnificent. We are too scared to love again, too scared to move out of state, too scared to start that business.

Well listen up my brothers and sisters, it’s time to knock down that wall you have built around you and let the power of God and the sunshine bring you forth to something that you never thought existed. It’s time for you to put on those running shoes and run that half marathon. It’s time for you to call up your business partner and start putting in the works for that business you want to run. It’s time to get back out in the dating world and find that true love you’ve been looking for. You will never know how strong you really are until you take that leap of faith and do something that makes you uncomfortable.

Take it from me, the Air Force was not my first choice or even a choice in my life. Just taking a leap of faith and exploring something new that will give me a chance to travel the world and learn a new trade sounds pretty worthwhile in my eyes. Still going to pursue my overall goal, but with this new adventure, it only brings me closer to having everything that I ever dreamed of and more.

Get out of your own way and take a leap of faith in something. You weren’t put here just to work. You were put here to spread love and enjoy life. Don’t you want to enjoy the perks of life? I know I do.
