SIX months into my blog creation, I am an accomplished blogger. While for many this chore seems simple, I have struggled through the entire journey. And, sadly, what hindered my accomplishment was ME!

It wasn’t I wasn’t capable, but I chose to allow my frustrations to take root and hinder my growth. It wasn’t until I was messaging with a professional, that I committed myself to setting a goal to accomplish my task. The goal setting created more frustration because I allowed my lack of patience to hinder my growth. Through voicing this frustration with a group of ladies, I made a bold statement, “I wasn’t trusting in God and praying for His guidance to walk me through my blogging journey.” Within a week, one step at a time, being present and faithful, I created my blog.

During times I encounter challenges in my life, fear is the obstacle which keeps me from overcoming the challenge. The fear that I am not capable, when I am; the fear I am not good enough, when I know I should not compare myself to others; and the fear of failure, once I create a blog will anyone actually care! Fear is debilitating. It will paralyze us, keeping us in bondage.

To break free of the bondage and face my fear I had to surrender it to my higher power. Choosing to trust in God, prayerfully move ahead, I was able to succeed.

Don’t let fear hinder your dreams. Trust in God and commit to an accountability partner. Take one step at a time and enjoy the journey!
