Sometimes the journey requires pain. Don’t run.

It took over 24 hours to get here, but we have finally made it to Buffalo, NY. My first thought, “Good Lord it’s COLD.” Yup, it’s 1o degrees outside and that’s not the time. But in the same breath it is beautiful, there is snow on the ground and everything looks so crisp and clear. I still have something that is unsettled, and I as out-of-control as it makes me feel am determined to wait on God for the answer. The drive here has given me time to reflect and think. I realize that my MO is worry and fret and that my actions are usually something akin to “let’s see how I can make this problem worse”. I heard God clearly say, that I need to stop living in fear. I am not sure what the best way is to do that, but I do know that if God said it, He’ll do it. Fear keeps us from achieving our purpose and even worse often times the things we are afraid of aren’t even scary. This new journey has been hard, but the lessons while painful have been well worth the discomfort.
