Fear…

Fear. It’s something that I’m really, really good at. I’m good at convincing myself that I cannot do something or that its not God’s plan or that I don’t have time or that it wouldn’t work out anyways.

Lots and lots of OR this OR thats. Because I’m good at fear, and I’m good at saying I cannot or won’t.

How does this apply to my business? I avoid stepping out, taking risks, talking to people more openly, because they are too busy OR wouldn’t really want to hear about me anyways. Right?

You see, I’m good at fear, but I want to, have to, must be better at stepping out and taking risks. I have such a specific dream for my life and know that this is what God has for me. Why am I avoiding that by being fearful? My God is so much bigger than me.

Duh, Jessica. So now its time to step out, pursue what God has for me, and stop being afraid of people, failure, and myself.

This is an image of the moon from a few nights ago. Apparently, the moon was the closest it was going to be to the Earth all year that night, and it looked gorgeous. I’m not a photographer who knows much about night landscape images, but that’s okay. I took this pictures once I got home anyways, because life is not worth living if you’re too afraid to just capture something like this.
