Pinterest has the potential to completely turn my day around.
Hear me out!
Yesterday was a rough day. A lot was going on. Degree questioning, life questioning, friend questioning, outfit questioning… etc.
I was so fearful and heavy about literally everything and then I was afraid that I was so afraid. boo. no bueno.
went on pinterest and BAM. this is what I found 🙂
My whole life I've been telling myself "don't be afraid"
And it is only now that I'm realizing how stupid that is. Don't be afraid. Like saying "don't move out of the way when someone tries to punch you" or "don't flinch at the heat of a fire" or "don't blink." Don't be human.
I'm afraid and you're afraid and we're all always going to be afraid and we're all always going to be afriad, because that's the point.
What I should be telling myself is "be afraid, but do it anyway."
Live anyway.
Fear is not from the Lord. We have not been given that spirit. But it is a real emotion. The Lord has been teaching me that even when I am terrified he will not leave me or lead me astray and everything that he places in front of me is there for a purpose and he will use it to bring him glory. My fear is then turned into something that through my obedience will honor Him.
