THE STEP

I can't see... it's so dark
maybe if I walk over here I'll locate it
Lord, I still don't see.
Where is the step?
Where is the next place for me to be?
I'll just head this way - it feels safe.
Buat what if safe doesn't lead to the step?
Perhaps comfort is not the goal.
Lord (Oh, my head is spinning)
I must...
I must get moving... now..
Ouch! what was that?
Another rock. My legs ache.
I've got to find it. Reach.
Reach higher. That's it!
I've got to get on my toes and...
ooooh! That hurt. My head... is it..
Is it bleeding? what did I hit?
I have to keep going!
Where is that step!!!
wait! what if I crawl?
Yes, I'll get down on my hands and knees.
There I can feel the ground better.
I ... I think it must be this way.
Wha - What? Oh! My hand.. what did I touch?
It hurt! Oh Lord, help me... help me!
MY CHILD.
Y- Yes, Lord?
YOU'RE KNEELING & PRAYING.
yes.
THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
But.. but the step. I need to keep moving!
NO. THE STEP WILL BE REVEALED.
YOU NEED TO TRUST ME. TO HAVE FAITH.
TO WAIT.
wait?
YES, IN TIME THE STEP WILL BE CLEAR
AND THE WAY WILL BE LIT AS WITH A TORCH.
I.. I will wait Lord, I will pray.
THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.
MY CHILD.
THAT'S WHERE YOU NEED TO BE NOW.

-Tom Felten-

hm... interesting eh... there's a poem that I have read on Dian Kampus September 2000.
sometimes maybe we ever felt like Tom...
when we saw there's no way in front of us... but one thing we can always trust God, that He will show us the way in the right time ... and in the right place...
