To the girl who was forced to let go when she didn't feel ready, I understand. I know what it's like to constantly think "what if?" What if I had tried harder? What if I had given it one more day? I know these thoughts are racing through your mind nonstop because they race through mine, too.

I've racked my brain for months asking why, trying to figure out why this had to happen to me, but I haven't come up with a good enough answer to satisfy my mind. The logic just isn't there. But when I finally got the courage to accept that what I did wasn't logical, something miraculous happened.

My mind may never find peace, but by the good works of my heavenly father my heart has. Defying all logic, I am finally at peace. Looking back I wasn't ready to change. I was terrified at the thought of it, but I now believe that you're never ready for change because change challenges every part of our being. It's illogical and scary and if you wait long enough, it can start to seem impossible. But I've finally accepted something I've known to be true my whole life: change is entirely possible by the power of our gracious God. If you give Him an inch, He will move you a mile. So to the girl holding on by a thread, let go. God has a plan for you so much greater than anything you could dream for yourself.

But I warn you now, His plan requires change and sacrifice and most of the time you don't feel ready for His changes, but I say to you this from Matthew 17:20, "...if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain 'move from here to there', and it would move. Nothing would be impossible." God is always with you to support, sustain and guide you. You don't have to worry about the next step because He is already there. Take a leap of faith and trust that God will catch you. Even when you cannot see where you are going, trust that God is leading you somewhere great.

Change is never easy, but it is worth it. To the girl who was forced to let go when she didn't feel ready, I was there. Breathe and step off your ledge, God is waiting for you. Trust your wings and fly!
