Have you ever been presented with an opportunity or given an invitation that you absolutely know with every fiber of your being that you should accept from the moment it is given; but you hesitate and worse still say no, turn your back and walk away? Why? I believe because of …
I find myself at that very crossroad of life. God is opening doors, presenting possible opportunities for my poetry, writings, art and photography that are outside the confines of traditional venues. A venture that pushes me way out of my own created and self-imposed comfort zone.Â
I am scared, yes I admit it I am scared.Â
Scared of where this could possibly lead and worse to subject myself to the possible criticisms, ridicule and even failure? Isn’t the greater failure to not even try? I do believe there is often so much more awaiting on the other side and we may never know we have wings until we leap off the cliff and find ourselves flying. I pray that God gives me the strength to move forward despite my fears. This new path that seems to lie before me has the potential to impact lives in monumental ways. However, like Saul in 1 Samuel, I find myself fearing people more than God.
Stay tuned for further updates as this all unfolds. For now I will just believe that God is leading in this. I may share those reasons why I believe that in a future post but for now my obedience is more important than anything else. God bless! ~M
I pray too that God gives you the strength to move forward. I believe He never gives you more than what you can deal with – and that we are often stronger than we believe we are. All the best and I look forward to reading updates.
Thanks Colline, I agree and I am very excited about the possibilities.
