Fear. It can be such a defining word and emotion. I have decided to NOT let fear dictate what I do in life.
I have come to point in my life where I have been comfortable with my lifestyle. I have lived a comfortable lifestyle, not changing much or breaking out of routine. For fear of change and what the unknown would hold.
About a year ago, I decided to go skydiving. I was scared, petrified and downright terrified. I couldn’t sleep the night before and woke up anxious. But when I jumped out of the plane it was the most freeing experience! I conquered a fear and I survived to tell the story! 🙂
After that morning. I felt like I could conquer the world!
So here I go again with the feeling of anxiety and uneasiness on this new adventure that is before me.
In one week, I will meet strangers that will become my family and friends. I will become a minimalist as I will be living out of a 50-pound backpack for one year. Good-bye, getting my nails and hair done, Black Rock Coffee, yummy American cuisine, comfy mattress, shower, and fashion!
I will go into places to minister this year that will lead me to conquer my fears. Fears that I am aware of and others that have yet to be revealed.
I will be conquering fears this year, it may get ugly, it may be messy and it may be uncomfortable. But my hope is that I will be able to see what I am made of and what God will be able to do throughout this journey.
