God: Give it here.
Me: I’m afraid.
God: Give it here, anyway.
Me: I’m afraid I will disappoint You.
God: Give it here, beloved.
Me: I’m afraid I will disappoint me.
God: Give it here. Now!
Me: K.

Note: I had to confront fear today. I was terrified. I did what I had to do. I cried.
I told God that I was tired of this financial fight. I told God 55 was weighing me down. I told that I was tired of fighting my way out. I just wanted out. Dammit, I just want out!
My try just would not leave me alone. My try tells me to keep fighting. My try tells me that this fight will be over soon. My try tells me that it is not the outcome that I need to hold onto. It’s all in the try.
Most give up because they feel to see the point. The point is not obtaining the dream. The point is not reaching the destination. The point is our willingness to get to the start line. Knowing, we may never reach the end goal. Yet, going anyway.
Go anyway, beloveds. After I dealt with my fear, I felt such piece. God would not allow me to wait until peace came before I acted. He told me to act. He graciously gave me the space to confront and defeat my fear.
I told fear to kick rocks. I did what needed to be done. I can live with the outcome. I don’t know what my future holds, beloved. I just know that I trust God with my future. With me.
It’s okay to be afraid. Do it anyway. You’ll be glad you did. It’s okay to be discouraged. Take discouragement with you and do it anyway.
I wish I could tell you that my battle ended successfully. The fight still rages. I finallyβ¦
One step.
One step.
One step.
You are loved.
You are NOT alone.
Keep on beingβ¦YOU!
