Fear paralyzes and robs us of joy


So I have had this fear that only a few close friends know about. And even as I type that I realize aside from maybe 2 people everyone I am thinking of is my staff. My staff is awesome. I don't stop to thank God for them often enough so I am going to do so now while I am thinking about it. For every blessing he pours out I will turn back to praise.

Ok, so anyway......
I have been deathly afraid to step on a dance floor for fear I'd get dizzy, get light-headed, something. I faced my fear tonight. Even after my friend had to work and could not go, I went to dance class, by myself, and I feel exhilarated. (I figured if I was going to get dizzy or something, the local dance class was better than a true dance floor). I met wonderfully nice people. I may be a weak, scaredy-cat, frail lady, but thankfully my daddy is creator of the universe and Lord of all. I have nothing to fear but my own ignorance and hesitation.
