Leap, Love and Live



Today, I am sharing from a place of fear. I know that it is easy to think, "You've got this!" and "God's got you!" but that doesn't make me less scared. 

I am crippled by the fear that life is moving so fast, and it seems like I have not started fulfilling those big dreams yet! Don't get me wrong, I am really grateful for where I am right now because God's been and still is the best, but it does not absolve me of that fear; what it does is- it gives me the peace to sit in this fear, remind myself of whose I am and why I do not need to be scared. Besides, just look how far He has brought me.

This knowledge lets me wallow on the brink of tears with the whispers of reminders that say, If he couldn't fail, I can't either. And then, I remember the scripture from Daniel that says, "Those who know their God WILL do exploits!" Notice it doesn't say "may," "shall," or "might"; it unequivocally declares "will!" This is a very certain and irrefutable statement that is not based on my ability to fulfill my dreams but on Abba's abilities to fulfill HIS purpose through me! 

At the end of the day, I have accepted that though I live, I am merely a passenger, and for someone like me, who has meticulously planned her life since the tender age of 5, you can imagine how unsettling, frightening, and nerve-racking it can be but, hey!  I am right here, and I am thriving! If I should say so myself, so yeah, you can too! 

I am really ecstatic that I am FULLY dependent and soooo not self-reliant, I am purely a child of grace. Imagine going through life only based on your efforts, sweat, and blood?! Must be hard, but now imagine sailing through life because you have been empowered with knowledge, wisdom, and, yea, grace. Seems like a pretty sweet "cheat" sheet if you ask me.

Things I do when i feel this way; 

1. Soak in worship (his presence)

2. Get out of my head and peep into his mind! (Through his word)

3. I dance like I have zero care because If I have said I am his Passenger Princess, it only makes sense to let him do his thing, innit? While I allow myself to be pampered with grace. 

4. Lastly, I speak to him sincerely. No need "forming hard guy" when I am obviously a daddy's girl

So, this is for YOU; you've got this because You are without an iota of doubt the radiant source of his joy, his most exquisite creation, and the cherished gem in his gaze. You are adored with boundless affection.


P.S.-  If you can see this, it means I took the leap! I am sharing this scared because Abba says it could encourage someone, I truly hope it does.  Am I comfortable with being vulnerable? Not at all! Does it make me anxious? Absolutely! But will I go ahead with it because Abba encouraged me? You can count on it!

Love always,

Beautifully written.
Knowing that God’s got you reassures you but still don’t mean you won’t be scared.
It’s the confidence in the knowing that gets you through.

Wholesome piece.
