Fear of people thinking I'm crazy or foolish. A few years ago, I KNEW God was calling me to something new and unknown. It was scary, and definitely out of my comfort zone! And I figured there would be some who would think I had lost my mind. For all I know, they did and still do! But I stepped out in faith. It WAS bigger than I could handle on my own. It WAS scary. But I knew then and know now that God is with me wherever I go, and that truth gives me courage. I know that as a follower of Jesus, He walks each trembling step with me...
