freedom in the tunnel :: 31 days

we walked to the playground this morning.
 sawyer LOVES to go through the tunnel.
but he stopped just like this until i came around the corner behind him and he could see me.
he needed to SEE i was there in order to go.

but once he saw me?
he was OFF!

tearing through that tunnel. swerving from side to side, and screaming his little head off.
with me at his back, he felt freedom in that tunnel.

it reminded me of our walk with God.
it actually challenged me.
if that tunnel is our walk {and it is a narrow road}, do we go through it swerving and screaming and having a blast?? or do we meander and not find the joy? do we stay so "safe" that we miss out on all there is to experience?

our lives are meant to be full of joy, lived to the fullest for Him, even dangerous and uncomfortable.

i hope i remember sawyer's unbridled bike ride through that tunnel as i walk through my day. there IS freedom in the tunnel, i want to act like it!
