On the Edge of Fear
It is remarkably interesting to be standing at the edge of Lent doing what I am doing. If you are religious, you might have heard of this time called Lent. A time in the church where people give up something to draw closer to love, closer to holiness, closer to God.
The irony of it all is I must give up fear. The reason it is irony is because I authored a book called Rejecting Fear and now, I am choosing to give up fear for Lent so that I can tell others about my book and help them let go of fear! The Mulberry tree sketch will be filled in with color and become the book cover!
The sheer hilarity of it all is that I am terrified and afraid of doing anything new! It might or might not have taken me 2 hours to learn how to create a landing page so you could join me on this journey… it definitely found me shopping yesterday instead of posting about publishing my book. I have had to learn Mailchimp, maneuvering my new website, marketing strategies… all of it as a small business entrepreneur. Never mind the publishing jargon where I am looking up words and google searching, “How to…”
Why do I share all this? Because I am letting go of fear. There is enough fear in the world, we need to find a way to reject it when we find fear guiding us and assailing us. We are not in the Ukraine, but often there is war within us. Now, more than ever the world needs peace, and it always begins within.
I am standing on a precipice of opportunity or terror. It depends on how I see it. Women and children are fleeing the Ukraine for safety, but others, brave soldiers from other countries, are fleeing towards the Ukraine and towards the battle. Yes, we pray and hope, but we ready ourselves. Those who are preparing to lay down their lives to help know the war, know how to fight. Do we? We may not be able to fight in the Ukraine, but we can learn to fight fear, quiet, and calm ourselves, so that we bring peace and hope to the world in need.
Ask yourself some hard questions: How is fear driving me? Is there a battle within me that I need to be brave enough to end? Who is the battle with?
Want to reject the fear that drives hate, war, chaos, brokenness, greed and so much of the hurt we see and create? If so, join me as I let go of fear and embrace the opportunity to share my story, my path, and the journey of my clients, from fear to love.
