FEAR is a mind state of restriction. A form of the destructive cycle and patterned parallel of the physical coming forward to be what has already been done spiritually. A delayment of dreams and aspirations. At the most critical point a denial and failure of a race lost before it is even started.

Facing FEAR is facing the one who stares at you and reflects your form, conduct and state of being in the mirror. The one who has control over the choices, the influences and the outcomes of experiences, yet may or may not be held accountable. The one who loves you so much but can so easily show hate towards you…your best friend and your worst enemy.

The biggest FEAR I’ve faced is the one whose FACE I touch each morning, the one whose hair I wrap at night. The one who I pay careful attention to live a healthy lifestyle for; in hopes that she won’t let me down as I get older. The one who I protect at every moment and with every step.

ME…

Ama…the caregiver.

The miracle of overcoming is that I’ve learned, understood and accepted that The Lord does not give a spirit of fear. He gives a spirit of peace and a sound mind.

That wisdom and truth has allowed me to have strength and great courage.

And this is my result…

Victory…

SUCCESS.

I’m not by any means a rich woman.

I’m free…I’m awake

…I’m not alone…and I’m no longer afraid.

Joshua 1:7-9 NKJV

 Only be strong and very courageous, that you may observe to do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you; do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. ⁸ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate in it day and night, that you may observe to do according to all that is written in it. For then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. ⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
