So much of life is uncertain.
It's nice to know there is Someone in control who we can trust to have our best interests at heart.

This little house - was in a residential section of Meissen, Germany. We had several hours to walk the town and explore. There were lots of narrow little streets with shops, the huge castle/church at the top of the hill, a smaller church in the center of the village, and people exploring everywhere.
I remember roaming thru the streets, at times with different groups of friends - and other times alone.
How true it is . . . that when we are alone - we are so inward drawn - looking around us only to see how things relate to 'me' and 'my world.' But when we travel with friends we have a larger view of the world. We see how places and circumstances are viewed through another set of eyes - affecting another set of circumstances.
As often as I find myself, loving to be a hermit, enclosed in my own little world, we were not made to live life that way.
How refreshing it is to open the windows and let in the 'fresh air' - and see others - and ourselves with another set of eyes.

In the medieval town of Dinklesbuhl, Germany, there was an ancient church with an awesome steeple. If you survived walking up the enclosed staircase, you were rewarded with an amazing view of the beautiful town surrounded by a wall.
I paid the fee and began the trek. What you see in the photo is exactly what I experienced. I get the same claustrophobic enclosed feeling - looking at the photo - as I did when I was enclosed in the cement stairway.
It was very narrow, perhaps 6.5 feet in height. You could only see this tiny bit at a time. Heaven forbid - someone was coming down while you were going up. There was room for only one.
My claustrophobia won out - and I turned around and went back down - thankful and grateful for the freedom of being out side.
When I found this quote this morning - I immediately thought of this photo. How often we give up on something so worthwhile - because of our fears and because of our little faith.
Oh - that my faith would grow - and don't miss out on the unseen - because of my fears.
