If there is one character quality that I could say I possessed 100%, it would be fearful. I am afraid of literally everything. I’m afraid of failure, people, loud noises, darkness, traveling, new places, change, my own feelings, everyone else’s feelings, and making others angry. I am especially afraid of screwing my life up with bad decisions I make as a young adult. I am afraid of being thousands of dollars in debt. I am afraid of getting a divorce or living a miserable married life because I picked the wrong man. I am afraid of not being able to parent children well. My goal in life for the last 10 years or so has been to live a life as safe as possible. I don’t do danger, risk, or surprises. Any of you who has ever lived a faithful life for God know that this type of life is unrealistic. I have been wrestling with God for years about my future because I want to live a safe life. God, fortunately, has bigger plans for me. Do I know what these are? Heck to the no. However, He wants me to prepare for this life now. He wants me to start getting ready to live a life for him. God doesn’t want me to prepare for safety. Instead, He wants me to prepare to be dangerous for him.
Looking forward to how I will rise, Brooklyn

You know what they say, "Knowing is half the battle" (BTW, who is "they") You've recognized issues, don't live there! Move on, live the life Christ has designed for you. You are an amazing person and will do great things. I believe in you and know you will accomplish a lot. Don't be like some of us that are old and realizing this and trying to play catch-up late in life. Be the great person you already are! :)
