January 11

I have been receiving feedback from many of you that you like the days I tell stories to make a point. Thank you for challenging me to step outside my comfort zone. Telling personal stories is risky or at least it feels risky for me. I tend to be a very open person, so some of you may wonder why I feel being open is risky. Well, I am open --- verbally. Most often this is because I engage the tongue before the brain! In writing, I think about it before I send it and the “what if’s” cross my mind.
· What if they do not care?
· What will they think?
· What if they misinterpret what I am trying to say? I can not see their body language. How will I know what they think?
· What if they use it against me?
· What if they tell someone else and only tell the negative side of the story?
· What if they think I am a know it all?
· What if they think, I think, I am a know it all?
· What if they think, I think, I am perfect? (The LORD knows this is not TRUE!)
· What if….
· What if….
· What if….

I guess the lesson I am learning from “Blessings” is “Take a RISK, God will take care me.” I am allowing God to guide my daily message. Please allow God to guide your day.

Blessings
