The Plunge

Often I forget that I actually have talent. Good ideas. Anything worth saying. The ability to influence others.

I was reminded today that I have all these things. Not because I'm great, but because of what God has given me.

For far too long, I have been paralyzed by my fear of failure. I don't want to live that way anymore.

I will take the plunge. I don't know when or where or what, but when I feel that God is guiding me someplace that requires my faith in Him, that may require me putting myself out there and possibly getting rejected, I will go. I have for too long been afraid of opportunity, as great and awesome as it can be. Well, opportunity can come any day now and if it's what God is leading me, that's where I need to be.

And the awesome news? He promises He'll be right there with me. His promise is that He has a plan and purpose for me. All I have to do is take the plunge... and follow Him.
