It’s time you remembered who you really are. You are not your wallet, your job, your kids, your house. You are not your activities or your worries or the labels other people give you. Like an actor you play these roles, and like a good actor you sometimes forget who you really are. Time to wake up now, and remember that you are a being of immense power and breathtaking beauty created in the image of God.

I’ve always wanted to go on a road trip. There’s something really exciting about it, going out of town, into a new place, leaving all your problems behind for a while, meet new people, have time for yourself for even just the weekend. Sounds good, right? I’ve always wanted to try that, but I haven’t yet. Well, for one thing, I don’t have a car. You can’t enjoy a road trip without a car. Another thing is I don’t have much money to really enjoy the trip. And last, but certainly not the least, is I’m kinda scared. I know I said it’s fun, but sometimes my head makes me think one thing, and the next minute, there’s a voice that also makes me second-guess myself.

“What if I get lost with no roadside assistance?” Or “What if something bad happens?” Those kinds of questions keep popping into my head. But I realize that if I think like this all the time, I won’t be able to get anywhere! If I let my fear dictate where I’m going, then I won’t be able to truly appreciate the joys that life has to offer! Ever thought of the same thing? Who of you have also wanted to travel, but have always been held back by fear? I am starting to address this fear of mine, because I really want to travel! So I hope you start to address yours too. We can do it!
