Healthy things grow, and growing things change. If we allow fear or doubt or shame or insecurity to hold us back from something new God is calling us to do, we may miss out on his greatest purpose for our life. As believers, we go from strength to strength, from glory to glory. And in order to keep expanding God's kingdom, we have to keep growing and trying new things.

We also need to be willing to make room in our lives for the impending birth of our dreams.

Life is too short, the world is too big and God's love is too great to live ordinary.

Being faithful doesn’t mean you are fearless. It just means that your faith is greater than your fear.

Even though I only just found out that I was adopted, God has always known, and he has always loved me. And since that has never changed, therefore nothing has essentially changed. I may not be who I thought I was, but I still am who he says I am. I am more. I am loved. I am his.

As you give God your time, your gifts, your resources and talents, He will use them to have a critically important and eternal impact on this world.

On my own, I couldn't silence my fear, but with God's presence I could push past it.
