"Do It Afraid!"

So I am beginning my blogging on today! God has placed it upon my heart to begin writing for the longest and it seems like time has not been in my favor. Yet, I have decided on today that I will simply "do it afraid!" I am unsure of what the outcome will be to my writing. I am unsure if my writing will touch the lives of anyone. I am unsure if anyone will even read these posts, but on today I choose to "Just do it!" With no expectations, but just to pour my heart and spirit out onto this blog. I am in this season of transformation. I know that God is about to shift me, because I have been going through battles...some Won and some lost. But no matter what God is always there guiding and leading me. He simply just wants for me to let him drive and for me to sit back and ride. Riding is hard to do, because I like to direct. Not only do I like to direct but I like to know where I am going and when I am going to get there. I want to know all the miniscule details. But God is saying "Rest" Daughter. "Trust" Daughter that I am driving, carrying, leading, guiding and taking you all the way through to where I want you to be. So anyways...today I did something afraid and not knowing what to expect and God showed up! #Won't He Do It! Last year I graduated from the community college in which I attended and began the process to transfer to a University. I had one more class that was required for me to begin attending a University. I was accepted to 4 Universities and agreed to attend the one I thought was the best choice. As my final semester began to come to an end...I ended up receiving a [D] in the course which made me ineligible to transfer. I was devastated and felt like everything including the visions and purpose God had given me had fell apart. Man oh man! I was a mess. Can you say Humility?! Because it sure has been a humbling experience. But four months later I see God working and I am beginning to understand why it was not time for me to transfer. Yes I failed a class (and not to mention took the class over passed with a [B] hallelujah! And the University still did not reinstate my admission)and God could have worked in my favor but He had to teach me something. So where was I....almost four months later and I am reapplying to schools and God is good because I had no money to but He made it possible for me to receive 4 fee waivers and apply for free!Amen!Because I didnt have the money I was thinking about not applying but God said apply and I said I will TRUST YOU LORD and He made a way. I went down to a lecturer at Scripps College by myself to hear Dr.Julianne Malveux speak and because I introduced myself to a Professor that was there God was able to place it on her heart to give me her info and connect me with someone to help me get in to Pitzer College. I was afraid to introduce myself, I had no idea what to say....but God said introduce yourself and I will do the rest. So a couple weeks later Im contemplating calling the Professor and going down to the school, but I finally do it( Do it afraid!). I met with a counselor and he gave me so much beneficial information I did not know and at the end of my meeting I come to find out that he is one of the counselors specifically for Transfer students ( Ya'll dont see what God is doing!!). Wow! If I did not drive down to that school because of my fear of not knowing what to say or who to speak to I would have never came across another person who can get me a step closer to getting in to the University in which so many people including myself dream to go. So for now I will end here and encourage all of you to "DO IT AFRAID!" With God you have NOTHING to lose. Trust Him! Step out on Faith! Do NOT Allow Fear to hold you back any longer!!! Spend time with God, our Father, our Daddy. He loves us Unconditionally! Do It Afraid!!!
