the fear is loud

It’s true. If you accept average, if you settle for ordinary, if you deem yourself common, fear will leave you alone.
If you decide to rock vanilla right into the grave, fear will give you a free pass.
But the minute you stand up and doing something with your life, fear will awaken.
Fear stirs, fear gets loud."

Jon Acuff

brutally honest moment.
i have struggled with plenty of things in my life, fear hasn't been one of the common ones.
but lately?
fear is threatening to overtake the trust and solid ground of the One i stand on.
i have been recognizing it.

but the above quote gives me a renewed purpose for fighting it.

i KNOW that fear is not from Him. and i want to choose not to give into it.
BUT...to also think that maybe it's because we're on the verge of breaking through to something beautiful in these struggling, weary hearts of ours?
HOPE!!!!
