Leap of Faith (Prompt for 5/17/12)

“They are gaining on us” I said to Amy as we are fleeing for our lives.

We are climbing up these hills where Haven 777 is located. The entrance is located inside a cloaked hill somewhere between two trees. It would be hard to find since there are trees everywhere.

“Amy, how are we going to know which trees are the right one”, I said with a hint of panic and fear.

“We know when we see it. We just have to have faith, my love. The Holy Spirit will lead us”, Amy instructed.

I looked back to see all them that are chasing us exhausted, climbing up the same steep hill we just climbed. It seemed God has given us the grace and strength to make this trip. It will take them at least 2 times longer than it did us.

I turned back to Amy and looked into her face. She was beautiful and strong all at the same time. It seemed that the glory of God was on her face.

“How much longer?”, I asked worried.

“Not long Tim. It’s over the next hill”. She replied.

As we got to the top I looked out and saw a hill that had a few trees with green grass everywhere. It would be an easy climb. When we got to the top and looked out it was a steep vertical drop. I looked downed and saw two green trees full of life growing out the side of the hill.

“We are going to have to jump”, said Amy

“What!! Are you joking?”

“Have faith my love”

We locked hands while looking at each other and jumped to what could be are death. But we slowed down as we were guided pass the barrier of the cloak.
