Just Do It

I am the kind of girl that, when I was little, would be the one kid at swimming lessons to have to make all the other kids move so I could climb back DOWN from the diving board. And quite honestly, I am still the girl that practically runs out of a room full of strangers just so I don't have to talk to any of them. Trying new things really isn't my strong suit. I feel that I need to analyze the situation from every angle & decide whether the risk of failure or embarassment is worth it. Usually it's not. To me. But what if it's worth it to God? After 30 something years here on earth, I'm finally beginning to realize how very much this life is not about me. Over and over God is showing me that I can trust Him and now that my eyes are open to that fact, I can see how He's been with me from the beginning. I have so many fears and trusting God to care for us is not easy. But I just can't stand going through the motions anymore. This post from Angie's blog reminded me again of that. In fact, I've stepped out a little this past week, gave it ALL to God & I can't believe the way He is using it! He IS faithful!
