Dear reader, I’m coming to you from
a place of just being human. Some days I don’t think I can make it, but I make
it because of Christ. Sometimes I’m anxious about going to work but I go
anyway. Sometimes I don’t want to get out of bed. I get out of bed anyway.
There’s been something ingrained in me from a very young age to now. Even when
I was bullied I showed up for school anyway. Even when I knew it was going to
be hard I went anyway. I showed up for school. I showed up for job interviews.
I showed up to drive on the freeway. Again and again I kept moving forward
because I fully believe it is better to show up than be a no show. I show up
for my life each day even when the days are hard. I would rather show up then
be a no show. Jesus helps me show up for my life every day. I can’t make it on
my own.
I so want to be free from all the
worry that cycles through my mind every day. Some days it doesn’t stop. Some
days I just want to give in to it but Jesus won’t let me. A knowledge of Christ
won’t let me give up because I am an overcomer because Jesus lives in me and he’s
an overcomer. I just want to say if you’ve been a no show in your life it’s
never too late to start showing up. Don’t let the enemy win. Don’t let your
discouragement win. Keep getting up. Keep moving forward. I promise you Jesus
will not leave you. From experience I can say it was never as bad as I thought
it was, once I started moving forward. I had created a mountain in my mind. A
boulder of fear was an obstacle in my path. Once I started moving forward I saw
the fear was merely a pebble in my shoe. Something I could step on and brush
aside and move past. I promise you, you can move past what’s holding you back.
It may look like it’s blocking your path but just keep on the paths of
righteousness. That blockage has to leave in the name of Jesus.
I know that I am set free and one
day I can just brush the worry aside. I have been able to do that it just
creeps back up every now and then. It’s an old habit that I no longer want to
give ear to. I no longer want to give the worry a foothold in my soul. God’s
promises are so true. They are true for me and they are true for you. He
promises never to leave us or forsake us. If God never leaves us, then why do
we worry about what’s to come. He is right there beside us every single day. I
just don’t know why I can’t keep that fact in my mind when the worry comes. Regardless
I’m going so show up anyway.
What do you need to
show up for this week?
What boulder is blocking
your path?
Will you choose to
let the fear win or will you keep going anyway?
What’s your personal
mantra?
Genuinely Yours,
Amy Z
