Do It Afraid.....

First off, let me tell you I am doing sooooo much better. The storm is still raging and I'm at the point where I personally could share with you, but I can't for other reasons.

Bear with me. I'm sure that makes absolutely no sense, but, I promise, it will.

When Kylee started having seizures and I was trying to decide what to do about work, I heard the phrase, "DO IT AFRAID".

I knew that was God's confirmation to me that taking a leave of absence was the right thing to do.

I heard those words again this week.

I know it was not by chance I heard them.

Sometimes, there are things God has for us to do or go through that we wonder how in the world we're going to do it or we're literally scared to death to do it.

Do It Afraid.

How much time do we spend telling God all the reasons we can't do it?

Do It Afraid.

No matter where God leads.

No matter what God says.

Do It Afraid.

We should never let fear cause us to back off or run away from what God has for us to do.

Do It Afraid.

  6. Do it afraid. That is good! That is faith, isn't it?! Faith doesn't mean doing only what we feel good and confident about; it means doing what God wants us to do even when we don't feel good or confident. Good post. Keep us posted on how things go. And our prayers for Kyle.
