I almost nearly fully convinced myself that it is okay being halfway good at being me. I told myself I deserved a break, let the young people take it from here. I had done enough for long enough. I wanted to pack it in, no more starting something brand new. Who needs the aggravation I said? Let someone else take that on. I have everything I really need I bellowed. I am closed to doing new works. Doors closed, shades drawn. Hung a sign that read "New risk taking not welcome here." I gave at the office. I was basking in my complacency unyielding in my resolve. That is until a little voice came into my head which said, "Your work on you is not over until I say it is over." And in an instant I realized, I wasn't even about finished in my "me" work, I was however deafeningly afraid of failing. I was afraid of actualizing my fullest potential. And I almost got away with it.
“For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and future.”
Jer 29:11
Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.
Phil 3:14
