Wedding Countdown Ticker

Its uncomfortable for me to be out of my comfort zone.

Tomorrow (or today) I am going snowboarding! YAY! Granted, last time i went was 10 years ago and I was surrounded by all of my closest girlfriends who didn't know how to board as well... And I will look like a complete idiot going with a bunch of people who seem to live on the mountains meaning I will likely be stranded on my own on the bunny hill...
BUT WHO CARES?! I'm going boarding! I loved it the first time and I am sure I still will. This is where I begin to think of things like "Oh my, my room is a mess. I should stay home and clean." Or "Bills have to be paid. I better stay home and pay them."or the classic "What if he wrecks the car on our way then I die?" Looking back at the fears I often use to rationalize the fact that I want to do so many thing, yet always find reasons not to actually do them... They are pretty silly and I find myself laughing at myself on the inside. 
God has not created us to live out of fear, but to LIVE a life of adventure, love, joy, risk and mostly faith. This is a little truth that is becoming bigger and more evident everyday as I trust him and faithfully step out of these comfort zones knowing that whatever the outcome, He will be there to catch me if it turns out bad, and there to guide my every step towards Him.
