[hometext] => Hope you like this!
[bodytext] => Nothing seems sure, nothing seems certain. Not even you. Are You there? Sometimes I ask. When you’re surrounded by darkness, sometimes even light is hard to recognize. But I can’t stay in this darkness any longer. It’s driving me insane. In this darkness I can’t see anything. I can’t feel. Am I…alive? Even pain feels distant. I must break free. I summon all courage, summon all hope, summon all faith… And leap… Will I find light? Will You catch me? Can’t look back…can’t go back… already leapt and now am falling. Falling…falling…why haven’t you caught me? Falling…where are You, God? Falling…and then I realize that You are there. Your hands are around me, and I am safe. I am no longer falling, but I am flying. I am no longer in darkness, but now I live in light. I am no longer in bondage, but you are breaking all my chains. Slowly, you will set me free. Now I am here. Here where the sun shines and the rain falls but I am stable. Here on solid ground, and here in the light. No trouble can move me; Your hand is on my shoulder. A leap. A simple leap, and You caught me. A leap of faith…and, a leap into your arms. There is no place I would rather be. …But where would I be, if I hadn’t decided to leap?
