Can I tell you what one of my biggest fears is? It’s the fear that God is going to tell me that He is going to do something and then not do it. That I am going to get all excited and tell people what God told me he is going to do, only to find out that he didn’t provide. Then maybe people will say that I don’t have enough faith. Maybe that I’m a bad Christian.
Today God showed me just how much I have been walking in that fear. All week God has told me to write this blog. That he is going to provide the $4,000 I need to be fully funded and the $2000 worth of medical bills and airfare tickets to get back on the race. But I have been too afraid to write this blog, to come out and say that God said he will provide for me.
My whole life I have had everything handed to me by my parents. I never needed to rely on anyone else. I think what God has been trying to teach me since I have been hurt is to rely on Him more and people second. I had to rely more on God and people in the past ten weeks then ever before in my life. And did you know that every time I need either God or people both were always there to help me?
God showed me how to take my first step out of fear. It was to tell you what God has told me and to invite you to take a step out of fear in your own lives. I am asking you to take this first step with me. I want you to pray about whatever it is that you are afraid of that God is calling you to do. Whatever it is that came to mind as you were reading this, talk to God about it. Then tell God your first step into faith is by supporting his daughter who is taking a step into faith also! Then let God do the work from there.
Lets conquer our fears in Jesus together!
