It's scary sometimes scared we are. Life is full of uncertainty. So, why do we worry about that which we cannot control? I read another blog today about inaction and "the fear" that immobilizes us because it will drag us into the abyss of the unknown. It is a place where we are scared and uncomfortable and out of place. However, that is where adventure really starts. That's the place where the true stories are told. That's the place where we find out who we really are.
I have only really been influenced a great deal by a couple of people in my life: My Grandpa, Lenhart, and MickeyG. My Grandpa showed me the value of loving God and the people around you. He showed me what it means to live a life full and free. Lenhart taught me to ask.. "Why Not Bro?" Might seem simple but too many times in life, we ask ourselves why should we do this?? We might get in trouble.. well life is too short so why not? MickeyG taught me that it doesn't matter what other people think.. i mean he owns a surfing goat now.. but in all reality his love of God is almost unmatched.. his love of life is unequalled..
My biggest fear in life is that I will miss an opportunity that will sweep me away on a grand adventure.. or worse yet, that I will be too afraid or scared to take that leap of faith.. sometimes it is important to take a step back and recognize what God is doing in our lives.. however, we can't do it too long or else we might miss what happens next.. and we might fall into "the fear" and become too comfortable in life and not recognize God at all anymore..
