Facing the fears

I am done with paralyzing fear!  I mean it...I have had it!  This is the time for me to face the fears that stop me in my tracks.  The battle is on...and it has been going on.  But this time it is different.  Right now, I'm fighting mad at the enemy who keeps bringing fear into my life.  I'm done cowering in a corner whenever situations arise that make me doubt myself and bring fear.  And this time I realize the battle is already won!  The devil is going to keep shooting fear arrows at me, because they used to work.  Not any more! 

I'm sick of thinking about my fears and talking about them!  I'm choosing to be obsessed with Jesus!  My mind will be occupied with Him and His Words!  I will dwell on thoughts of hopes and dreams that came from God!  I will aggressively dig into my Bible for truth so there is no room in my mind for lies, and fear, and worry!  It is going to be a fight!  I am going to need people behind me and beside me urging me forward and fighting for me.

This afternoon, I visited the roof of Christopher's school.  Not something I would normally do...since heights are a fear trigger.  But, Christopher loves to be on a roof and I decided it was time for me to face that fear again and I WON!  I hope that the summer brings more opportunities for me to face my fears...spiritually, emotionally, and physically.  It is time for the fear to lose its power over me!
