My Word for 2016

So, it's February, and I have decided to reveal my word for 2016. (I've also decided to start blogging, but we'll pretend I have always been here...blogging. Okay?)
My word for 2016 is...
FEARLESS
I've been fearful of so many things ALL my life. Slowly, over the years, I have faced some of those fears and let them go. But now...NOW...I want to go beyond just facing some fears and letting them go. I no longer want to simply fear, less. I want to become

FEARLESS.  I want to be fearless in my faith...fearless in my finances...fearless in my relationships...fearless in my writing...fearless in every aspect of my life....
So how did I do in January? Pretty good actually. I won't go into details about the fears I faced because they are a bit too personal. But each time I was apprehensive about a situation, I simply asked myself, "Why are you so afraid?" Then I reminded myself of my aspiration to be FEARLESS, after which I made the move...
I faced the fear...
I took the plunge...
I dove straight in.  And you know what? I survived. And so will you! For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.~2 Timothy 1:7  So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
 ~Hebrews 13:6

Think about what you fear. Think about why you fear it. Then face it and let it go.
