aaaah Shannon, you are just splitting me open with these posts! Or I suppose I should say, He is and you are being a very good vessel indeed. I just cry and cry when I think of all the amazing things He’s probably had for me that I forfeited because of fear. All the times I’ve turned away from a path He’s pointed me to because I was too afraid to travel it and couldn’t seem to trust Him enough to do as He asked. Bitter tears come because I know the truth about the consequences of my choices. It is a bleak picture I paint, but the truth is I have also said, “YES” to Him many times and I have drawn on my faith as I took each step with Him… trembling, but still I moved forward and yes, He blessed me for trusting Him… even if it was only that I arrived safely and no harm came to me just as He promised… that in itself IS the blessing because it shows me that He is faithful and true to His word.

I am on a new journey with Him and I move forward trembling… as always, in the natural, it seems crazy and maybe even stupid, in His world, it is nothing and my only job is to say yes and trust. Please pray that I do not grow weary or retreat as I struggle with (at times) my faithless heart.

Another great one, Shannon. Keep going! I’m cheering you on :)
