The other day my boss comes over and says, “Have you heard? We are all going whitewater rafting Thursday. Now, it’s not that I am against rafting, but let’s just say I would have not scheduled that trip myself. Now, my wife would be first in line, but it was work related so she could not go.

Now, it was time to man up and try something new or wuss out. In this situation, there was no reason to wimp out, so I knew I was going. But, that little nudge sent me doing something that I would have never chosen on my own.

I think that we all need that little nudge sometimes. It helps us try some things that we may typically not try on our own, but once we do, we love the feeling. And I did! We had an amazing time, got soaked, and stayed in the raft the whole time. I can’t wait to go again and take Torrey with me.

So where is God nudging you? I am not saying He was nudging me to go rafting, but the lesson taught me that there are times when He asks me to do things and I wish I had a nudge. Maybe this experience will teach me that just like I loved the feeling after rafting, I can get the same feeling after I step out in faith and obey Him.

How about you?
