On Friday January 23, 2009 I challenged myself to take a step of faith every day for the rest of my life. I deicded that I was tired of being too scared to do what I felt God wanted me to do. Everytime I tried to do anything, help someone in need, talk to someone who looked lonely, stand up for God, I would chicken out. So my goal is that every day for the rest of my life I will do atleast one thing outside of my comfort zone that brings glory to God! So far its going great, I saw someone who I had never met standing alone at Campus Crusade and left my friends to go talk to him. And today at church, as the sermon ended and the music began I felt like I could no longer stay seated. For the first verse of the song I sat there, but when the chorus came I could not keep myself seated, so I took a step of faith and was the first one in my church to stand up for worship, and as soon as I stood, others followed!
I have been amazed at how easy it now is to get out of my comfort zone! And every day I pray for more and more opportunities to take a step of faith!
My prayer is that as my life countinues, I will be able to take bigger and bigger steps of faith. I want to have the faith to be able to share Jesus with strangers and help someone in need. When I feel God telling me to do something, I want to have the faith to do it and not be afraid!
I challenge you to take The Step of Faith Challenge!
Matthew 17:20 (NIV)
"He replied, "Because you have so little faith. I tell you the truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."'
