I’ve been struggling all month on what to write –what topic do people wanna hear about that I’m good or qualified in to share? The one thing I can really say I’m qualified to share about is fear of failure.
For those of you who can relate, you know exactly what this feels like, for those of you who can’t relate, God bless you and peace be upon your house. #youdabest
But really, if you can’t relate or don’t know what I’m talking about, let me let you in on this real quick…
Fear of failure is the idea that if I try something new l’ll fail at it.
And because I’m so scared to fail, I come up with ways to not do it, to get out of it. I was thinking of so many excuses of why to not write.
I convinced myself that my fear was justified. That my lack of skill is the reason I should give up.
But is that really how we are called to live our life? Focused on the fear that’s in front of us?
Personally I think it’s healthy to know what I’m not good at but there’s a line that needs to be drawn in knowing that, with Christ’s strength, I can overcome my fears. And I want to be on that side of the line with my focus on Jesus instead of my fears.
So I’m not gonna sulk in my lack, but instead I’m gonna rest in God’s grace in spite of it.
In grace and with God strengthening me, I’m choosing to write.
What about you?
What are you choosing to do in spite of your fears?
