Do it afraid! Wednesday, October 19, 2011 Last blogged @ 1:07 PM A levels are just about 2 and a half weeks away and I am honestly very relieved. Very thankful too for the people who have walked this tedious journey with me, providing me with the comfort, support and encouragement I so desperately need. However, to say that relief is the only thing I am feeling now would be an understatement, because fear is also one of the other emotions. But through this short post, I would just like to impart something of extreme value that I have learnt through quiet time a few days back. I have learnt that feeling fearful is really just part and parcel of the emotions we as humans have. And most importantly, feeling fearful, does NOT make us weak. The only difference however, is that we should not let fear overwhelm us. Simply because fear is the enemy of confidence and that is what all of us need in our lives. So what I am trying to put across is this. Being fearful doesn't make us cowards. We are cowards only if we run. And maybe if we have been allowing this feeling to control and determine our destiny perhaps it is time to regain control of our own lives because the truth is that fear happens to everybody. In fact, it is what we do in spite of that fear makes the difference between victory or defeat in our lives. Be strong and courageous, and firm; fear not...for it is the Lord your God who goes with you; He will not fail you or forsake you. - Deuteronomy 31:6 Labels: A levels, Encouragement, Friends, Love |
