Do it scared!

Have you ever been afraid to do something because of fear of what others would say? I can admit that I have allowed what others thought of me to become a stumbling block for so many years. I was scared to embrace the quirky and weird side of me because I thought others would not accept me.

I now realize that’s such a sad life to live. A life where you are trapped by the perceptions of others. How limiting is it to literally hide yourself in order to make others comfortable?

Well, yesterday, I felt led to post a video of me doing a freestyle dance I recorded about a week ago .

Dancing has always been an escape for me ,outside of writing of course, but it has been one of my least used gifts because of fear of what others thought.

I would dance at church due to a program I was obligated to but I never really allowed myself to flow freely in this gift.

To my surprise, people responded well to the video, but even if they didn’t I knew I needed to post it and that I need to show you all who I really am as God shows me.

The crazy party about hiding yourself for so long is that you don’t even know yourself.

So, I’m on a journey with God to allow him to reveal myself to me and to you all. I hope you enjoy the content I put out but my biggest hope is that you also start your own journey with God for yourself.

Here is my challenge to you today: write a list of things you are afraid to do because of fear of what others may think. Then write why you are afraid. Lastly, write down how it makes you feel when you’re doing that “thing” (example dancing) and how you can start embracing that part of you more.

Essentially, create an escape route away from fear and blue print for you to start embracing freedom. Of course always pray first and ask God to help you on this journey. You can’t become free and whole without Jesus!
