Learning to Walk One Step at a Time Without Fear

So today I received an email. I found myself neither encouraged nor discouraged. But rather just thoughtful. Sometimes, I think too much. But today, I think I needed these thoughts.

Do you ever find yourself on this roller coaster adventure of life sometimes willing it to speed up, sometimes begging it to slow down?

That is how I felt today as I considered my future.

I long to sing! So here lately I have been pursuing venues, making inquiries, and seeing what the Lord does with them. I am learning the valuable lesson of caution and prayerful decisions.

Sometimes, I think my teacher is right. We do fear something about success. And yet, is it really success that we fear? Or is it the unknown of the journey toward the success? The what if's along the way. The not being able to plan for each detail. Not knowing what you are really getting into specifically. Not always knowing the right protocol.

That is where I found myself today. The future has so much potential. So many good things. But how will they all fall into place. Well, the answer is that you learn to walk one step at a time. Without fear. Without trembling. Not always focusing on the end goal. Knowing it, hoping for it. But seeing the daily journey along the way. The moment by moment. Seeing people and things around you. Knowing that they are all meant to be a part of the plan God has for you today! The things that will make and mold your future because those people, things, decisions were all apart of the process.

I don't know. Maybe I'll change my mind tomorrow! But today, I see a bright future that only the Lord Himself can bring to fruition! So today, I choose to be an adventurer, relying on His wisdom to guide me a long!
