1.3 million dollar tight rope walk
This is Nik practicing for the tightrope
This is me knowing that at least if I fall to the ground.. I can still LIVE ALIVE! 🙂
According to the Los Angelos Times, Nik Wallenda is continuing to plan to walk across Niagara Falls on a tightrope on Friday night. This is Him practicing (not above the falls clearly but still.. high.. up.. on .. a … tightwire!)
I am fascinated by the Nik Guy. I feel strangely like we are good friends right now in life. Even though He and I have never met, um… and well.. probably wont.
I wonder what made Him want to pursue this dream no matter what, even down to having them change laws for it, even down to risking His life.. even down to the fact that apparently the cost of the wire was
1.3 million dollars ( can you imagine)
now the truth is .. if I was walking over a wire
over a giant
roaring
waterfall
in front of about 120,000 people
to walk 200 feet above the falls
I would want a 1.3 million dollar wire to!! don’t cut corners.. don’t clip coupons and get the off brand for me…
I want the REAL wire..
The best wire
The one that I can feel solid on
I feel like I have been on a tightrope of faith walk pursuing my dreams and calling lately also. There are moments of SHEER terror. Do you ever have those? those what if, how come, how will it work moments in the middle of the night that come.. or in the middle of the circumstances of your day when it’s not all making sense.
You may not be starting a ministry like me. You may not be wondering how to get new clients for your counseling ministry, how to promote your speaking, how to write a book and get it published, how to pay rent… the list could go on and on.. but I bet you do have moments in whatever your going through of thinking– ok .. God… I’m on the tightrope here.. feeling a little wobbly, but longing to trust.. and I don’t really want to get off– so will you stable this here wire of FAITH and I will keep walking!
Romans 4:20 No distrust made him waver concerning the promises of God, but He (insert my name here Jenn) grew strong in her faith, giving glory to God
fully convinced (or at least convinced enough to walk on the tightrope of faith)
that God was able
to
do
what
He
promised
God’s promises are better and more sturdy then any million dollar tightrope
What is your tightrope walk of faith right now?
How can I pray for you?

Great Post! You are doing well one step of faith @ a time!
Hi Jennifer,Thank you so much for taking time to let me know you are praying for me. I so appreciate that. This time of transition as my husband looks for work and I prepare for She Speaks is going well, but the enemy continues to throw fiery darts at us and our family. None-the-less, our confidence is strong in the ONE who holds us tightly in HIS hands. Can't wait to meet you in a few weeks at the conference.Be sure to check out my blog this Wednesday June 27 for a video that has a lot of helpful information as you pack and prepare for the conference.
Jenn, we are in the Soli Deo Gloria group together. Have not heard from anybody yet but am trying to get by all of our blogs while on holiday. LOVE the design on opening your blog – didn't know if it was something you designed or a template.Your writing is very immediate; you draw a reader into exactly where you are. Looking forward to being e-sisters!
