So today I saw something really cool, which prompted me to write about it, but there's a little story that goes with it, so here's the pretext:
So last semester I was walking from my apartment to Fresh and Easy or Big Lots.. it doesn't matter where I was walking to. Along the sidewalk was this guy running along the sidewalk holding onto the handlebars of a bike while he trained his son to ride without training wheels. For several hours they were going around the area because I saw them pretty much all afternoon. The little boy seemed so excited to be riding a bike while his dad was there at his side, and it was really heartwarming.
So that's the pretext.
This morning, I was walking from my apartment to my friend's apartment and I saw the same little boy on the bike, but his dad was riding right behind him, cheering and supporting his son like he was four months ago.
It really just reminded me of the testament of God, and how He has revealed Himself in my life. Last year, I was just starting out at a new school, and I was afraid, and still growing in God. Literally, every single day He was right at my side baby stepping me through every problem that I had.
I think that over the summer, I had a lot of time to grow not only mentally, but spiritually, and I feel like He's let go of the handle bars a bit and let me ride on my own. Maybe I'm at a stage where I no longer need Him to baby step me, and it's time for me to fall and maybe get hurt, but to know that He's still right there, just not right on top of me.
Maybe my theology is wrong, or maybe I'm reading into the situation too much, but it gave me a sense of warmth inside my heart, and the situation really spoke to me.
