They are a choice. Do you want to live with faith or fear? Kind of like roommates!
Both will bring things to your life.
If you choose to live with faith...there may still be ups and downs. Life will not always go as you plan. That is not the kind of guarantee that faith brings along. Faith brings a solid base. A touchstone that you can depend on. So even when things get crazy if you reach out for faith you can feel comfort and a sense of steadiness.
Fear on the other hand brings with it doubt, chaos and reluctance. Fear brings holding back, OMG panic and sometimes the inability to act. Fear hides your solid base in the closet and likes to watch you spin.
You always have to choose one or the other. They cannot live together. I have been with both. I just realized on my birthday that fear had moved in over the last year. I thought fear had moved out. It had not. It is now.
I am redecorating and making faith feel very welcome. My "house"... my rules. Good lord I sound like my father! But this time he is right. Fear got evicted and faith has moved right back in.
Ahhhh a roommate that will help not hinder...my kind of choice :)
Happy new year!
I am Debbie. I had written you a desperate comment last November.
Now I just need to tell you that all is well. We found solutions.
I am happy, optimistic, I can dream and also I got a good lesson: to enjoy the simple moments in my life.
Thank you for the encouraging message that you wrote to me on that difficult time in my life.
I wish you the best for the new year.
