FAITH OVER FEAR!

Fear Has No Power

Welcome to my blog. I chose to begin with the topic of fear, because for a long time, fear had a strong grip on my life. Even starting this blog brought feelings of hesitation—fear of judgment, fear of being misunderstood, fear of what others may think. But today, I say NO to fear. You do not own me, and you do not own my potential.

This is my story, my experiences, my growth and I know I’m not alone. Everyone encounters fear at some point, no matter their background or journey. If even one person finds encouragement through what I share here, then my purpose is fulfilled. Writing has always been healing for me, like a conversation with my soul. And often, what encouraged me ended up encouraging others too. What we sometimes believe is insignificant about our story may be the very thing that gives someone else hope, strength, and the will to keep moving.

We’ve all heard the phrase: FEAR = False Evidence Appearing Real. And it’s true. Fear tries to disguise itself as truth, but on the other side of fear are the very things we desire, dreams, open doors, purpose, and victory. No matter the mistakes, heartbreaks, setbacks, or valleys we’ve gone through, each of us has a purpose and gifts designed to impact others. Our gifts were never meant to be kept hidden. We were created to shine, to uplift, to be a light.

And as for cancel culture, let's CANCEL cancel culture. You cannot be canceled when you are fearfully and wonderfully made by God.

I look forward to walking this fearless journey with you. We may pause at times to reset, but we will always return, moving forward, growing, and stepping into GREATER.

Tips to Overcome Fear

• Feed your faith. Read an inspirational or spiritual book of your faith and values or another source that strengthens your belief and grounding.

• Remember your victories and celebrate your wins big and small.  Think about the times you have already overcome fear. Your life is proof, you can do it again!

• Prayer and meditation. Quiet the noise, connect, and breathe.

• Have an accountability partner. Someone who speaks life into you and reminds you of your value when you forget it.

• Speak positive daily affirmations. Your words shape your reality—choose them with love.
