Bounce is a word that signifies movement. It indicates thought as one hesitates to make the play, as in basketball. The movement in bouncing the ball allows one to think about the play and the target. He/she is considering each run, dribble, pass, or perfect timing to shoot the ball into the basket. The play is not individualistic. It is a team effort, so the player must consider every move. Any misstep can cause the team to lose a point or lose the game.
In life, we have a choice to continue to bounce, but keep the overall picture in mind. In every bounce, there should be a plan, thought, time, and movement toward a specific goal. God has given us life and "in him we live, and move, and have our being...for we are also his offspring (Acts 17:28). So, continue to bounce as you consider your target or goal. Breathe, march onward, uncover what is hidden, nurture the opportunity, but enjoy the process, create new ideas, and continue to expand your horizons.
Never forget, God is with you. He has the plan. Just bounce.
