Confidence

CONFIDENCE IS KEY

II Timothy 1:7

For God has NOT given us a spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

 

this is me on the front page of the florida times union metro section...happy times:)



Does fear equal confidence.  If you are afraid of something does that mean you are not confident?  I used to think so until I learned that everyone is afraid of something.  The difference is that not everyone allows their fear to swallow them whole.  So now, I use my fear as a driving force to do what needs to be accomplished.  I have a big project ahead of me.  It is new territory for me so I am afraid.  It's the unknown and I'm sure we all have had monents in our life where we've wondered "what if I fail?"  What if I fall flat on my face?

As a single woman I feel that this is where a good husband would come in handy because he would be a source of encouragement.  That little push over the edge because he would be sure that I will land on my feet.  But I dont have that right now, so like David in the Bible I am on here writing to you, but encouraging myself for the challenges that lay ahead. 

What I feel God wants me to get out of this is this: I am guessing that even when I get married (someday soon God please...lol) there will still be days where I may have to rely soley on God's strength even though I have a husband.  Likewise so will he, but if I learn to depend on God now, rather he (my husband) is there for me or not (mentally, spiritually, emotionally) I will still be fine:)
