So I have a confession…I often let fear keep me from doing things I really want to do. Can anybody relate?
On our trip to Portland, Oregon a few weeks ago, my husband and I hiked a waterfall. If you know me, you know I don’t do outdoorsy things that require physical exertion PLUS I am afraid of heights and falling. But I really wanted to go to the top and that day I decided not to let fear hinder me from going up. I did it!! And it was difficult and beautiful at the same time. Let’s just say I’m very proud of this accomplishment lol.
I definitely would not have done it without my husband, Najee. He was there the whole time encouraging me. Even wiping my tears when I felt anxious.
I’m thankful for this practical experience that showed me how to trust God with my growth. I often let my fear of new heights and failure prevent me from being obedient and walking in His Will. Just like my husband, it’s comforting to know and believe that God will be there the whole time, encouraging me, in patience and love, to continue but He knows what’s to come.
