Ok, so I went to Starbucks this morning to see what I could drink that was equivalent to coffee. See, I’m taking a month break from coffee and it is torture. It’s not so much the taste that I crave but it is the mood the taste puts me. I am in love with the feeling behind the taste. So I get to Starbucks and order my breakfast sandwich and ask what drinks taste similar to my old faithful Carmel Mocha but was coffee-free. They had something made from steamed milk. So I got that with Toffee syrup and it tasted pretty ok.
So what’s the point of saying all this? Sometimes the things we think are necessary in order for our lives to function better are not so much necessary but rather an addiction or habit. Our brains have just been re-wired to think that they are. My example is something as simple as coffee but there has been worse. This is a new year so how about laying aside some of those “necessities” and allowing the presence of God to provide.
Blessings!

FEAR NOT
Dear Sisters…
My heart would employ you, encourage you to FEAR NOT! Most new endeavors and adventures, most changes that should be made are not ventured into because of FEAR! My push to you is to not allow for fear of rejection, fear of failure, fear of the unknown to stop you from doing what it is in your heart you know it is for you to do.
Trust me, I am not preaching anything; I am speaking to myself as one you. This new year meant for me to not be afraid as our God has told biblical characters time and time again…our dear sister Esther and Rahab were not afraid. Mary was not afraid. We too are to muster up as much courage as we can and knock fear out of the way…and walk…forward. No one is saying run (at least I’m not, but God just might be); just put one foot in front of the other.
“Be strong and of good courage…” Joshua 1:6
