March Motivation!

I've begun reading two new books: Authentic Beauty By Leslie Ludy, and Breaking Free By Beth Moore(Thanks to my friend for gifting it to me:).
They are wonderful! I've been reading them to start my day lately. They put me in a good mood to face life and its trials.

I noticed today that whenever I have something big and frightening to do, I put it off and do all these other things that I frequently put off until later on. Suddenly all of those things are so appealing! 


Have you ever had that happen to you? Where you're told to do something difficult and then you begin working hard at every other difficult thing, just to avoid the other difficult thing? I am constantly asking myself: "Why don't I just do it? Putting it off just makes it even more difficult!"
It's like watching a sink slowly fill with water until it runs over and begins to flood the house. I can easily just walk over and turn it off, yet I sit here and watch it flood the house. I watch as the damage increases and it gets more difficult to fix. I should just hop up and fix everything before it's destroyed! But for some reason I'm scared to. 


2 Timothy 1:7 "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
That fearfulness isn't from God. Why am I letting it get the best of me? 


Lately these things have been on my mind: Becoming motivated to succeed, letting go of the past, moving on to the future, and acting on what God has put in me.


I want to break free! To break free of all the silly little things that are holding me back from my true potential and all that God has for me!
Will you join me?It's going to be absolutely amazing.
On my way to complete freedom.
