‎In August I transitioned my life and everything that I knew as familiar, to a new place and a new location. When first arriving in Boone NC I was in awe at the beauty that surrounded me. Excitement bellowed from my soul, and I happily embraced my "new life." However a few weeks in, I found myself questioning what the Lord's purpose and direction for my life would be in this unfamiliar place. It was upon this questioning, that fear began to take over my thoughts and consume my heart.

Through this fear, it seemed as though the only conversations that the Lord and I were having consisted of my questioning and fretting about where he had placed me. I was afraid, alone, and unsure. But it seemed that through all of the uncertainty, the Lord just kept reminding me of his greatness and power, and how we are not called to a life of living in fear- but rather we are called to live a fearless life.

2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God did not give us a spirit of timidity, but a spirit of power, love, and self-discipline." This verse reminded me that although I am afraid at times, there is so much power in his name--- so much love for us in his heart. And with this love, we can embrace the day fearlessly and confidently walk the steps that he has layed out infront of us.
