Fear is Optional

For many years I was paralyzed by fear. I built a wall around myself because I was so afraid. I didn't let people get too close. I didn't trust many and I certainly didn't trust easily. When you have been violated mentally, emotionally and physically, fear is a natural response.

It's normal to be afraid, but it's important that we choose not to let our fear stop us from living a courageous life. We can't live by our fear. The storms are unavoidable...for all of us. Challenges in life are not an option. Storms don't pick and choose who they visit, they find us all. But if you feed your faith, your fears will starve to death.

Do it afraid. Conquer fear with faith.~Julie
