Book Cover & Preview Text
| Dear Fearful, I see you sitting on the sidelines of life. You’re watching everyone else get in the game and play, while you stand at the sidelines cheering and handing out water bottles. I see you take a step forward near the boundary lines of the game, but then you look straight ahead and see the competition, and you retreat back towards the bench. You don’t think you measure up to the other players. You look around and lament, “she’s much taller, prettier, smarter, more educated, more connected, better body, naturally gifted, advanced degree, family connections, quieter, louder, fancier, simpler, more humble, more confident, less cellulite, wrinkles, and stretch-marks, younger, older, more qualified", than you. Fearful, why does fear hold you back? What about fear is so powerful that it shapes the course of your life?Life is lived in two ways, owning fear or fear owning us. For so many years, fear owned me... Fear over whether or not life would get better. Fear over change. Fear over failing at something I tried and then looking stupid. Fear over what other people would think if I went all in on something they didn’t understand. Fear over making the wrong decisions, miscalculating and taking a wrong step. Fear over being misunderstood, unfairly perceived, or judged. Moving through fear is scary, intimidating, and you will often question if the process of walking through fear will be worth it in the end. It will be. The growth and freedom you will experience as a person will pay dividends and will prove itself to be one of your most worthwhile investments. It’s time to be #morethandone with fear. It’s time to cast aside every weight that is holding you back from pursuing the dreams and goals God has placed on your heart. God did not lay that dream on your heart for no reason. Look around you. How many people that you know of personally, who want to pursue the exact same thing as you do with your specific vision and your unique angle? Chances are there are few people within your immediate vicinity who are wanting your specific dream. You were uniquely gifted for the task at hand. Though you may not have every skill set to complete the endeavors you wish to pursue right as you’re starting out, you will develop those along the way. So often we want to wait to begin until we feel totally and completely ready and have everything in place that it would take to make it successful. But God acts in response to our steps of faith. He equips us in the process of stepping out and moving forward. Instead of hiding in the prayer closet, begging for God to move, I often wonder if He is waiting for us to do the moving, for us to begin to take those first steps into the footprint He has established for us."In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." Proverbs 16:9 (NIV)"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me..." Psalm 23:4 (NIV) Fearful no longer needs to be your name. Fearful, it’s time to let go. Fearful, the reward and the freedom is all worth it in the end; when you let go, turn your back, and do the trust fall into your Heavenly Father’s arms. Fearful, you are NOW called - FEARLESS Fearless - welcome to your NEW chapter. Fearless - welcome to your second wind. Fearless - you are beloved. Fearless - you will go further than you ever dreamed possible. Fearless - Heaven is watching and rooting for YOU. Fearless - keep your eyes on God, your Father. When doubt begins to creep in, look up, Fearless. He’s got you in the palms of His hands. Nothing goes unnoticed by Him.You’ve got this Fearless... because HE has YOU. |
