A gentleman shared a story with me the other day. He was on vacation and had decided to skydive for the very first time. He had never wanted to do this before he was sober but wanted to face his fear of heights.
His skydive partner asked him if he was afraid and he responded, "Yes" and said he was shaking but then asked himself "or am I afraid to live?" He decided to take a Leap of Faith. A leap of faith that God would carry him through this fear he was about to face.
For so many years I have been hiding from my fears. Fear of the truth, the fear to live, fear of the future, the fear of defeat, fear of failure, the list goes on and on. I had to come to the realization that I could not drink my fears away. That I could not hide from them anymore. I needed to take a leap of faith to live, to live a healthy and truthful life.
Today the program has given me an opportunity to face those fears and not hide from them. It has given me the opportunity to live again, today, one day at a time. God Speed.
