When Faith is Tested, Jump!

Archie leaped into the air and grabbed at it with fervor, and he hung on to the end of the chain with every ounce of his energy. It hadn’t registered with him that one day as he swung from the old tree swing, the spike holding it to the tree might break and send him flying through the air and over the edge. He was miserable as he sat below the bluff, hoping to reach safe ground again. There was no module to watch to see how to get out of this mess. He prayed and waited.

Then, he heard the sweet sounds of people talking. He shouted for help. He saw the chain come down towards him, but it was just out of his reach. He had to trust that could jump for it and would not slip and fall to the bottom of the mountain. With faith bigger than a mustard seed, he jumped!
