Fear is loud and bossy.
She can be vicious at times.
And the worst of it is that
she often mingles truth with fiction.
But you must learn to challenge
the stories she feeds you.
You get to be the boss of your thoughts.
You can learn to question
whether or not
everything she tells you
is truth,
the whole truth,
and nothing but the truth.
Since you have done the work
to deepen self-awareness
and self-compassion,
when she throws all your past failings
in your face you won’t crumble
because you already know you are imperfect…
AND you are beautiful
and resilient
and worthy
of building a
thoughtfully crafted life.

On cable TV talk shows, the executive producers often give the host of the show directions with one word – FEAR. So the host and the guests for the show are to instill FEAR in the viewers for the next hour….and they surely do.
How has FEAR mingled Truth with Fiction for YOU in recent months with what YOU watch on TV?
When was the last time YOU told yourself that YOU are beautiful and resilient and worthy of building a thoughtfully crafted life?
FEAR CAN KEEP YOU UP ALL NIGHT LONG, BUT YOUR FAITH IN JESUS MAKES ONE FINE PILLOW!
