Fear is a liar!!!!

 

   FEAR IS A LIAR

 

1 John 4: 16 -18a

And we have come to know and to believe the love that God as for us. God is love, and the one who remains in God, and God remains in them. In this, love is perfected with us so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment, for we are as He is in the world. There is no FEAR in love; instead, perfect love drives out FEAR. 

How many times do we sit back afraid of doing something new? afraid of something changing? afraid of failing in what we're doing, afraid of not being good enough? It seems that's been my life within anxiety; something constantly reminding me I will never be good enough, never measure up to what people expect. never fit in to a group of people without being funny, never achieve a goal that I've set. 

This last few months has been dealing with all these different emotions that I've had for many years, from my growing up years through my adult years. Always coming to a place of letting go, to only taking them back when my guard is down. 1 John states there is no fear in love, fear is a judgment for doing something wrong, but love overcomes any fear we place on ourselves. I love the beginning of the scripture explaining that Love is God, and if we remain in him we have love, therefore; fear must cease and move away from what is love. The pictures you see are just a few things I've overcome through my life that fear if I let it would have stopped me from moving forward, but it didn't and I moved forward. 1. Fear of my dad = him finding Christ, and laying down his own demons that caused fear in his family. 2. My Son Elijah's diagnoses of Autism, never thinking he would talk or be able to social skills to move forward in life= Elijah in college learning skills for him to move forward on his own in life. 3. Accepting that call to ministry at The Bridge in Hawaii = Moving into my district licenses and watching a small Children's program in Virginia turn into a moving tool that reached many kids to a relationship with Christ. who still keep in touch with me to this day.  4. Keith through many trials continuing through and becoming a pilot within the military, never taking no for an answer. no retired and doing as he pleases within aviation. No fear! 5. Fear as my boys were diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis and praying 15 years God's will within the situation= my boys being healed. 6. Running again within my time in Hawaii= watched my health sore to new heights. Fear of failing but pushed through. 7. Elijah graduating from High School with a diploma that we feared he would never get.= Elijah graduated in 2018 with a regular diploma. 8. Micah over coming his own fears of living without Cystic Fibrosis, being legally deaf and having open heart surgery= In college to become a Aviation Mechanic not letting his disability of hearing stop him from a life. 8 and 9. Gracie Bean my precious angel, fear of allowing God to lead and direct her without moms hands involved in her life. Fearing every day for her safety and if she is being treated like the precious jewel we as parents see her as. = Grace growing every day into a beautiful young lady, who loves working with Children and  who's becoming willing to stand up for herself.

See fear could have stopped me from the start, but with each time I was told I'm not good enough I moved forward, and allowed God's love to move within each area. I've found myself back in that place where I was relying to much on others opinions and not God's love to move through. Fear had become a huge thing, the more and more my hair was pulled, and my mental thinking continued. Until a few months ago when I took the reigns back and allowed Love to move once again through my life. The fear vanished, sure there is still fear I deal with and the number one fear right now is stepping outside my comfort zone, to tell others about something that has changed my life. God, and a plant based product that has brought me to a place of understanding what God intended for my body, and sharing that with others. 

I may have fear, but because I have love for others that fear is combated by continuing through the comfort zone to sharing God and this plant based product to others. The fear of pushing my friends away, or seeing me as that friend who's calling to push a product. It's the same with our life with Christ, something that's good for us and we're afraid to share it afraid of turning friends and coworkers away because of the message you have for them. Sometimes we need to stand up to fear and say what we need to and move forward to others who want to hear our story. Not allowing others to tell us that we should be afraid to share. 

Keith and I are starting an 8 day challenge tomorrow on losing weight and getting healthy. I am taking control back from fear, and I'm going to share the message I know God has given me to share. We must become healthy, and stop using things that are not healthy for us, moving into a place God intended and that's using what he grew for us to be healthy.  

So if you want to take this challenge with us, and step up and allow God to use you for greater things then just another person roaming the earth. Lose weight and get emotionally and physically healthy? let us know at TeamAW3@gmail.com . The challenge starts tomorrow and goes to November 8th. But we will be doing one every month so you won't loose out if you miss this one. Don't let fear control any longer, look towards Christ and move into that direction he has been leading you into. 

No more fear, I have God, and a plant based product called Xyngular that has really changed my life. And I won't have fear sharing that. What to know about Xyngular and it's products and how it can also help you with that fear of finances. I'm willing to sit and talk with you, and the great thing is this program has free health and wellness coaches that can also help with answers. Let me know! Please remember, FEAR IS A LIAR and your more then just someone that has to live in that fear! You are GOOD ENOUGH just take that step into the uncomfortable area.
