Take the first step in faith....

Think of a car driving through the night. The headlights only go to a hundred feet forward and you can make it all the way from Adelaide to Darwin. I had that first-hand experience in Australia. The highway (as they call it) is not like in Malaysia where there are tonnes of lights and you can sometimes even forget to turn on your headlights! I drove on seeing pitch black next to me and the next meter. I cannot see what is in front. There is no one else on the road. It's the wee hours of the morning. I trust there is a road. And that's how life unfolds before us. If you just trust that the next meters will unfold after that, and the next few meters... and our lives unfolds in this way. It will eventually get us to the destination (which I really did arrive safely in Darwin, 33 hours later!), whatever it is that we want, because we want it!
