Well, I always seem to start off my posts with "well" so I thought I would do it again. I have been going through one of those God-molding, pain in the butt, "break you down and build you back up again" experiences over the last few weeks. Some of you know what I'm talking about, some don't - but the point is that I have made a realization. I am no longer going to be afraid. I fear everything. I'm really quite the coward. I fear getting out of bed and telling my neighbors to turn the music down. I fear small talk and strangers. I fear correcting people that aren't living the Christ-following life. I fear my mother-in-law! (just kidding Mom)
God has shown me the uselessness of living a life of fear. I need to suck it up and charge down that battle line toward the enemy! In the immortal words of the then sober Mel Gibson, "FREEEEDOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!" (Insert flying sword scene here)
Life is too short, and people are too valuable to live in fear. Just a walk across the room could result in the greatest gift ever given - I don't want to be stuck in my chair because of a little fear!
Well - I guess that might have only been one insight but between Jack and I we'll call it 2!
Well - Great 24 hours on thou!
together we're insightful.
