A challenge!

A follow up to a previous post on fear...check out the following blog!

Running Upward: Just Do It: What are you afraid of doing? Are there activities, goals, aspirations that get tucked away because you're too scared to try?

Let me tell a story of my own.  There once was a girl who was afraid of many things and situations.  One day, she felt God prompting her to host a ladies bible study in her home.  She was afraid!  Why, you may wonder, was she afraid?  Pride...that people would see she is a poor time manager and housekeeper.  Fear...that once people got to know her better they would see her many faults and not like her.  Sad, but true.  This girl finally decided to let people know about this bible study idea, sure that no one would be interested.  But, she was proven wrong!  And, now that this particular study is winding down and the group is getting ready for a new study, this girl has realized what a blessing she would have missed if she had given into fear.  Blessings of new friendships and spiritual growth.  The beauty of change and of shared prayers and praises.

My challenge to you...What are you afraid of?  What is it in your life that fear is holding you back?  As the blogger said above...  JUST.  DO.  IT.  And, please share your story with me!  I would love to hear from you!
