This weekend I'm going Bivvying with the youth group from church. Bivvying is basically me, Tommy, an ex-SAS man and a bunch of 14/15 yr old boys going out on the yorkshire dales and making our own shelters to sleep out in over night. I am so so scared!
It's going to be lots of fun though and i have to keep reminding myself that it will be worth it in the end!!
I've been thinking alot about fear recently - I'm reading a self help type book called 'Feel the fear and do it anyway'. Not because i'm particularly fearful person but because i found it in a charity sale for 50p! Alot of it isn't really applicaple to me cos they dont take Jesus into the equation but on the whole its full of pretty sensible advice. Its got me thinking about how the devil uses it as one of his most paralising weapons and yet what is it? Nothing.
Fear's a funny thing it stops me from doing some of the things i want to do most in the world. The biggest thing it stops me from doing is sharing the gospel and i can find no rational explanation for why what so ever. For years i have been trying to pin point exactly what it is that i'm scared of. I cant really find it. Christ has given me a spirit of boldness and not of timidity so i think it's high time that i started to feel the fear and do it anyway! ha ha
