Every Tuesday {from January to June} I am sharing the steps I am taking to pursue my God-sized dreams.
***********************************
I've been fighting, struggling, resisting what I know I need to do. There are some things in my life that need to be put on the back burner. It's a painful decision to set these things aside. Maybe it's a pride thing. I know that I am capable. I know that I can do them well. I know that people would see what I do and encourage me and give me accolades. As a woman full of self-doubt, I crave these things.
It seems that lately I have had to make a lot of decisions. They are seemingly little, personal things.
Choosing between good and bad...well that's just easy. Choosing between better and best? Not so much.
I get so torn...it's not like these things in my life are wrong! No, they are very good things. But you see, that's the problem...they are only good.
I've been asked why I would give up things that I enjoy or things that I am good at for a period of time. People don't understand, and they judge. And I fear their judgement. And that is when I realize that I fear people more than I believe that God has a beautiful plan for my life if I will simply follow His lead and let Him write my story...if I will only let it go.
So I will say "no"
"not now"
"not so much"
I am letting go of what I want to do, and letting God mold me.
