Overcoming Fear

I finally overcame my fear of roller coasters a few Saturdays ago. I went to Carowinds with some of the band people from my school. I had only been on one roller coaster before that, and I was terrified. But my dad and little brother somehow managed to talk me into riding the Intimidator. I'm fairly certain the only reason that I got on it was because I didn't want to look stupid waiting through the whole line and then getting off at the exit once we got to the top. So, I got on the roller coaster, and I loved it!!!!
This fear is kind of like some spiritual fears. But, fearing to do something is not an excuse that Christ will accept. Christ tells us that He will help us overcome fears, so we must depend on Him and "Just do it." One fear that I have been really struggling with is the fear of witnessing. But, Christ has been really convicting me, and I am praying that He will give me strength and courage.
So this week, trust Christ to help you overcome fear. He won't let you down!!

A Quick Note.....

Fear. I know all of us we afraid at some time in our life.... am I right?! I know I am because it's normal. Now what is something that helps you get through times when your scared???? I think of 2 things; Alllllllll those verses in the Bible that tells us not to fear , and as long as we're believer's in Christ then we truly do have nothing to fear. The 2nd one I got off of a movie call Facing the Giants. If you haven't seen that movie you need to watch it!!!! Anyway my favorite line in that movie is: " The Lord said in the Bible 365 times do not fear, if He said it that many times then you know it's gotta be true!" I love that part and every time I'm scared I think of that and how much God cares about me and I have no need to be scared because He is watching over me!!!!! Take comfort in that next time your scared. Have a great day! ( I may not be right on how many times but the bottom line is He says it alot!!!!!!)
