"I do not think I am ready."
"It is for that very reason that I know you are"

-The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian-

This quote was one of those Gibbs slaps I always talk about. The first week we had the movie, I watched it six times. Not kidding. I love Narnia. It's not a secret. I've written about it so many times.

I think the reason I love it because it's how I feel all the time. I never think I'm ready to do something. I'm so good at talking myself out of thinking I'm good enough, etc. But the truth is, if I don't do it I'm never going to know. And God knows I've backed out of a lot of things because
"I don't think I'm ready"

God wouldn't give us opportunities if we weren't ready for them.

Sometimes we forget that He knows us better than we do. He's got everything figured out.

But, for whatever reason, He gave us free will and that is probably my biggest enemy.

Garth Brooks once said,

"The greatest wars in life are not between two people, but between man and himself."

Ain't it the truth?!

We can talk ourselves in and out of things better than anyone.

It's not really what people might think of us that holds us back -

it's who we think we are not that does.

I've been blessed with some awesome Sunday School teachers over the years. Ronna was amazing! I learned more from her in the two years she was my teacher than I think I have my entire life in the church. God, I miss her!

Anyway, we read the book "If You Want To Walk On Water, You've Got To Get Out Of The Boat"

If you've never read it,

YOU MUST!

It's so good!

It's all about the steps of faith, big or small, that make up our life and our walk with God.

Not long after we read that book, Britt Nicole release "Walk On The Water".

Uh-mazing.

It's still my theme song.

So, Jerrilyn,

it's a big deal what's going on,

but it's only a small part of what's going to happen.

God's got it all figured out.

All you have to do is take the step of faith.

We all love you and believe in you.

I cannot wait to see where this takes you!

I wrote this in your scrapbook for a reason. Don't forget it!!

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together, there is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think. But the most important thing is, even if we're apart, I'll always be with you.”
