What Did Fear Keep You From Doing Today?

Oh, yes I have...best thing ever!!!

I know what my answer for the last two months has been, hitting the "publish" button for this blog. Yes, 65 days to be exact, I have sat and looked at this with fear. Something I was so crazy excited to do, something God literally laid in my lap I allowed fear to paralyze me.

During this time I continued to journal, reflect and seek out the why. The reality is I allow my own thoughts and opinions to shut me down more than anything else. I am my own worst critic and enemy. Can anyone else relate? When I am holding myself back from the very thing God created and called me to do, therefor making myself become disobedient.

As a believer the only way to lose at life is to give up and quit moving forward. Well, yeah I know, I did quit moving forward choosing instead to sit staring at this keyboard. Reality being, what is the worst thing that can happen? Someone doesn't like my post? I receive negative comments? Worse yet, I offend someone. Guess what, we live in a world where it is really hard to not offend someone. I needed to bring this back to who put this all in motion, who put the thought, the passion, the dream in my heart...Father God. He would not set me up to fail, so if I do fail it is on me, due to my choice to be disobedient.

Moving forward is not doing so free of fear, but to have the courage to move forward inspite of my fear.

What is holding you back? What joy did fear rob from you? What new adventure?

Remember "do not fear" is mentioned 365 times in the Bible ... every single day it is my choice, what is going to rule my day. What will rule yours?
