Continuing the God-sized dream conversation over at Holley’s place today. She asked us to “do one thing to move forward in your God-sized dream” this week, then share it. What I did seems so ordinary, I’m almost afraid to share, but for me it’s a large step.
A couple years ago, overwhelming life caused me to shelve my creativity, and not good enough gained a foothold. The result was that doubt prevented me from returning to my words and photography for a very long time. Having decided to act in spite of fear, I began this blog 2 weeks ago. So my one thing has been to simply continue to create and post.
As I shared last week, the emotional upheaval has all but undone me, but do you see those words up there? They were from my devotional the middle of last week and they brought me to my knees in worship. I’ve been a believer for 30+ years and I can’t remember ever having seen them before, yet my Abba Father knew I needed them right then. He has been so good and so careful to encourage me and show me how He is in control and that I can count on Him to do what He’s called me to do.
He is the One who helps me.
Hand in His, back to the dark, facing the unknown, I continue to move, step by step. The fear is gone at the moment, replaced by faith and wonder at how God’s attention is so personal.
He is the One who helps me.

Thank you, lynette. =)
Your thoughts and your photo are both so wonderful! I’ve struggled with not feeling good enough too. It looks like you’re making great strides in overcoming the doubts you have about yourself though. Your photography is beautiful.
Thank you, Tricia. As far as the doubts, it’s really a moment by moment battle and I have to choose which voice I’m going to believe. Some days are better than others. Today is a “better” day. =)
