Doubt

It’s that nagging voice in the back of your head. The one that keeps saying “what if it doesn’t work out? What makes you so special? I’ll never get that job. ” It’s annoying, robs you of sleep, and and causes your thoughts to go back and forth like a ping pong match. You know how it goes. “Well if I do this I’d finally be taking a chance and being brave.  But wait. If I don’t , I’ll be safe. I don’t have to face criticism. Buuuut if I do it, so many doors will open. Ugh. No. Nevermind. There are too many people doing the same exact thing I want to do. It will never be successful.” Doubt will cause you to talk yourself out of destiny. And just like the enemy comes to “steal, kill, and destroy,” (John 10:10) doubt will seep in and steal the very thing that once gave you excitement and joy. We all face it. Some will pretend they don’t.  Thinking that admitting that they face doubt will somehow make them weak. Thinking that they need to “save face.” If that’s you, it’s my hope that you understand that a little vulnerability never hurt anyone.

I myself will be real about it and share that I am dealing with it right now. But honestly, I am TIRED of feeling like I can’t do it. I am TIRED of talking myself out of doing things. And I am TIRED of feeling like I don’t have what it takes to achieve my dreams. So today, I look doubt square in the eyes and tell it to GET OUT OF MY WAY! God has created me to do great things and I refuse to shrink away afraid. So, right now, at 10:35pm on June 12th, I am standing up to doubt by posting my very first blog post. As I stand up to doubt, I hope you will too. ❤️ Until next time....
