"Bump Fear; Trust God; Take Healthy Action"

Fear can be so subtle...slowly rising waters in life that , if un-checked, could drown the life out of life. I'm so thankful when I see a trickle of fear; have courage to address before allowing the fear flood to suffocate my life.

 I realized that I had been procrastinating.  As shared before I keep a daily agenda...tracking the gift of time as so to be a good steward over it.  In conjunction with time tracking, I also keep a "to do" list to remind me of key items (at least six a day) to get done that day. 

Yesterday, I realized that I had been procrastinating on one particular item (procrastination is usually an outer sign of inner challenge...fear).  This morning, denial cleared and I saw the fear.  Today, I commit to say "BUMP FEAR; TRUST GOD; TAKE HEALTHY ACTION"...by taking healthy action, even though I feel the fear, is saying to God, " I'm not sure, but I'm going to walk courageously now thru the fear ("only way out of it is to walk thru it") as I hold on to your hand"...while reaching out to others to share where I am emotionally; as well sharing the healthy action I choose to take as God helps me to overcome fear (healthy action kills fear for me).

I also commit to journaling around the feeling of fear that is bubbling to the top of my awareness to better understand root cause (understanding further opens my eyes to self and helps me to heal..to choose the healthy action next time)  I also commit to bookending(calling a trusted friend before I take courageous action; and calling same trusted friend after I take the courageous action).

God is within me...fear is "false evidence appearing real" ...there is no "real" threat; the action I am to take will not harm my life...what emotional pain am I wanting to avoid...pain I feel that I can't handle...don't want to handle. 

This morning, I was reminded by a loving friend"s text that God's Grace is there to see me through any challenge...as I walk thru the turbulence...feeling and acknowledging my feelings without shame...expecting my Hero God to help me overcome as he holds my hand through this exercise of strengthening.  I am an overcomer thru the Blood of Jesus!!!

I can do all things thru Christ who strengthens me!! The wisdom of the universe is within me leading and guiding me...I am never alone!!! All I need do is to stop, go inside to the throne of God within (my spirit and God's are intertwined) and ask for help in way of inspiration, intuitive thought or guidance ...and then expect God's help as I take faith action....this route never fails.....I am always lovingly cared for when I look to God for guidance and suggestion and then take the action that aligns with the Word of God...and knowing that if I miss it...that God is like the ULTIMATE GPS SYSTEM...that I can trust to get me back on track again...I am loved...

Is fear suffocation the life out of your life?  Are you willing to ask God for help and then to take faith action...the next healthy action as he holds your hand through your walk to victory...
