ALIVE

"One day she realized that she was not born to hide away, but to SHINE brightly!  So she decided to stop listening to her fears and finally focus on what made her feel truly ALIVE! -Anna Taylor

I saw this quote on Facebook one day and it stuck with me.  I started thinking about what makes me feel alive.  I'm still thinking about it.  I asked my family and close friends, "What makes you feel alive?"  And now, if you are reading this, I am asking you.  And I would love to hear your answer!

We live in a world that feeds our fears, doubts, and insecurities.  If we listen to those lies, we shut down, hide, and stop shining.  We are paralyzed by fear and we stop pursuing the things that make us feel alive.  It's a vicious cycle that perpetuates itself and continues to grow unless we shut it down.

As for me, it is time for me to shine!  I'm done listening to the fears and doubts and insecurities!  I will follow after Jesus!  I will make time to do the things that make me feel ALIVE!
