I shared this story with a friend today and realized I never documented it on here. I hope it is encouraging to others! I wanted to share with you a cool experience I had with the Lord. About a month ago I was away at camp with my high school students. There are a lot of activities available to them in the afternoon such as paintball, art, swimming, and zip lining. I was swimming with them and kept thinking about the "high tower", which is a tall dock that you run off of and jump into the lake. One day I decided I was just going to go for it and do it since I had been wanting to since I saw it last summer. I got up on that dock and my heart was pounding out of my chest! They offered to count me down and I said "No I just need to do it!" So I ran off the dock and jumped! It was about 25 feet or 2 and a half stories from the dock to the water. But I did it and I felt great! I also had a similar experience on a water slide the camp has. Last year I tried it out and landed in a way that water went up my nose and down my throat. So I was a little scared of the water slide. But again, I just went for it and did it! Throughout the week I had been thinking about my life coaching business and the next steps in growing it. I know I needed to set up some meetings with experts, but for some reason this was terrifying to me. But as the week went on I sensed a peace. It was like God was saying, you were scared but you jumped off that high tower, you went down the waterside, and you're fine! You might be scared about your next steps in your business but just run and jump and do it! You will be fine! So I was really encouraged to come home and find the courage to set up those meetings for my business. So, tomorrow I have a meeting with a business professional about how to grow my business. I am excited but scared, but trusting The Lord to help me through it.
