I didn't want to ride a roller coaster

I didn’t want to ride roller coasters. But I also didn’t want to seem like a baby because I wouldn’t get on the roller coaster. So, I got on, utterly terrified, rode the ride, and FREAKING LOVED IT! #newadrenalinejunkie But, then I said I wouldn’t ride a roller coaster that went backwards. I did, and it freaked me out but also was so fun! Then I said I would never ride a roller coaster without a floor – Umm…the Superman ride at Six Flags was bomb. And I would never, ever ride something that went upside down. Y’all, I have done all of those. And ever single one, I got on in utter fear. I am in the middle of reading a book called Fear is Not the Boss of You by Jennifer Allwood. One of her chapters is titled Confidence is Not the Goal and begins with a John Wayne quote – “Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway.” Wow. I believe with everything in me that, if no one else in the whole wide world reads this book, that is okay, because it was 100% meant for me. Every page hits me hard – I am talking soul conviction & God reminding me that I am not created to live in fear, but in freedom and abundance. I’m not sure that there is a page so far without a highlight or a note on it. This book is SO good. I’m not quite sure why I am writing this, just that I felt like I needed to, and I am kinda working on being obedient to the small nudges of the Spirit. So, you are getting this musing at 8 pm on a Friday night because I thought I was supposed to write this. Have a great evening y’all!!\ P.S. Here is a bit of what has been on repeat for me lately: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4CY3nf1Mvw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6glQdaQUZ1U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQ8D2Mx7tGg
