I am linking today’s post to,
In Other Words,
the prompt this week is
“Faith is taking the first step even when
you don’t see the whole staircase.”
Martin Luther King, Jr
and to
Five Sentence Fiction,
the prompt this week is
Abandon
She laughed
when they told her how shocked they were at what she was about to do. Yes, she had worked long and hard achieving a status with the company few of them would ever attain. And yes, she was walking away from everything and everyone. Leaving it all behind to take the first step to living her dream, the dream she had been dreaming for as long as she could remember. Besides, she wasn’t really abandoning everything…she was definitely keeping her faith.

I know it’s a cliche, but faith really can move mountains. I like your character’s spirit!
Yes, faith can move mountains…sometimes one shovelful at a time.
Patricia, this was my act a number of years ago, leaving corporate America to go into business for myself, and I never looked back!
Good for you! Takes a lot of courage and faith to make big changes.
loved the positive tone Patricia.. 🙂
Thank you!
Oh how I love this one, Patricia! I have known a couple people who had the faith and courage to do that, and it worked well for both of them. If I had any conceivable way to make a living outside of my current desk job I would delightedly do the same! I know exactly how free she felt that, I felt that way on the day I left a job I’d been at for nineteen years that had become a heavy burden. The same can be said for my last marriage. :-). Sometimes we do have to “abandon ship” and take a leap of faith, believing that God will send us in the right direction. You wrote about this so well! You could also link up this story with Linda Kay at Senior Adventures at her new “short story based on an illustration” blog hop Wednesday Wit and Wisdom. Yours is much more positive in tone than the story I’ve written to share tomorrow!
That should read Linda Kay at Senior Adventures! My brain is toasty from the day 🙂
Fixed it for you. 🙂
I can’t really say I have done this. I have taken little steps of faith…always with a parachute or life preserver on hand. I am going to check out Linda Kay’s hop for next week sounds like a good way to find inspiration. Usually, I find the picture after I write the story.
A.w.e.s.o.m.e. Wow, lady. What’s another word for awesome? ❤ ❤
You are the awesome one…making me feel like I won a prize for my little story. Thanks.
It’s such a wonderful story and in five sentences. ⭐
