You may read this and think this isn't a big deal. ...but it is. Trust me. This is no small victory.
I have dealt with deep fear in various areas of my life, for as long as I can remember. There are too many examples to even begin to tell you. Fears that make living inconvenient and even annoying. Fears that make me so anxious and tense that I ugly cry, get a migraine, and it just negatively affects my relationships.
This year I've faced two of those fears.
I drove on the highway.
I rode roller coasters.
The first I have faced to the point of not being anxious at all anymore. I don't even think about it...I just do it.
The second needs more practice. And some might say is not a valid fear that needs overcome. But for me it was. And in several conversations with the Father I hear Him tell me how proud He is of me.
There's freedom on the other side of fear. There's life on the other side. We walk through fear. With Him.
