faith over fear

Next school year, I will move into the role of Instructional Literacy Coach for my school.  I am excited, and am approaching this new journey with my usual fervor.  I've started reading articles, joined Facebook groups, purchased books, and even trolled the web for ideas on how to decorate my new space.  But deep down, I'm fighting the imposter - that voice that tells you that you aren't smart enough, that challenges your ability to even think that you are qualified to be in this role.  There are soooo many reasons, my perfectionism tells me, that this won't work.  "Who will listen to you?"  "What makes you think that teachers will get on board with your plan?" " Who do you think YOU are?!"

A year ago, six months ago, the voice would have again talked me out of doing something that feels difficult or challenging.  But...I'm not the same person I was a year ago.  My relationship with Jesus Christ isn't the same, either.  I'm learning that He cares about every single little minutia that is part of my life, and that He doesn't open doors through which I'm not prepared to walk.  Most of all, I am learning not to even begin trying to walk alone - in work, in relationships, in life.  I'm choosing faith over fear and deciding that I'm going to trust Him every step of the way!​
