Wild Freedom

I received this from The Church of Our Savior in Washington, D.C. in their inward/outward reflection and I think it is very fitting.



Wild Freedom
Roy Howard

Liminal space is disorienting and disturbing because you are not fully in control. This is true faith and it can be frightening. Yet whenever you risk following Christ's call, astonishing things occur. We know the One who calls is the one who saves. The life of faith means at least this: living in liminal space--cultivating the capacity of heart to hear Christ's invitation and stepping out of comfortable, yet unsatisfying structures toward a future that only God knows. Once we grasp that Peter did not drown and neither will we, then a wild freedom begins.
