Never Ever Dull
With every conversation, I always seem to end with "Never a dull moment"....our lives are rich, complex, and beautiful stories. Join me in laughing about everyday things and appreciating life-bumpy roads and all.
"Dog Interference" was marked on the package. What was up with that? Recently, my Oldest ordered an Apple watch and had it sent to my home. She wanted to ensure that someone would be home to sign off on the package. Sounds simple, right? Yet, when the truck arrived, my dog went to the door and sat peering at the strange vehicle. No one got out of the truck and it drove off. Later, my Oldest received a text stating "the package was undeliverable due to dog interference". What?! Banks was inside the whole time and not interfering with the delivery. He just appeared to be a possible interference. How often are we like the delivery guy? We are trying to get from Point A to Point B, but we get side tracked and let fear take over. What holds us back? Are we not able to take the steps that we know we're supposed to take because we cave in to fear? What is currently holding you back from taking the next step? Is it your own doubt or is it a valid fear? Sometimes, when we're in the driver seat, things may seem daunting and they can quickly escalate, creating anxiety. I've felt it and know how my heart races as I pull back, hesitant to step out. But God. That's when I have to stop and give it up. I hit a point when I give up control and stop allowing that internal battle to take place in my head. I mean sometimes I have to put the brakes on a major war! What about if I fail? But God will be there. What about if I make a fool of myself or get my feelings hurt? But God will be there. What about if I say the wrong words or make the wrong choice? But God will be there. We can spend too much time worrying about the potential of "dog interference". What is keeping you from stepping out and walking to your next goal?
