Time for Five Minute Friday. I am linking up with Lisa Jo Baker. Today our word is BRAVE.
GO!
Two weeks ago now our FMF word was JUMP. I wrote about how I felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff tempted to jump off and see if the Lord would catch me.
Here is my follow up post.
This was beyond my comfort zone. And it showed as I walked into the room, limbs shaking. I slapped on my nametag and grabbed the nearest chair at the emptiest table. One occupant. I was too nervous to speak.
I used my full bladder as an excuse to get up and leave, to take my time washing my hands and waiting for the 'program' to start.
I came back to a full table of talking ladies.
'Be Brave', I told myself. So I tried jumping in the conversation, voice shaking, cheeks heated. 'You are such a dork.' was repeated like a mantra in my head.
"Be Brave" said the Lord.
I gave up. I gave in. I had jumped, but I was clinging to the edge of the cliff face. Time to freefall.
And you know what? I had a marvelous time. I got to know 2 wonderful ladies, who I hope to meet up with again.
Thank you Lord for catching me when I let go. Thank You for my bravery.
STOP!
