I have been inspired by God to risk everything for Him. That means vulnerability - that means showing my emotions. That means doing this completely out of my comfort zone. That means breaking every mould I ever fitted. But I am doing it! And it is such an adventure with my King! I can just feel in up above looking down at me doing what He wants, proud of me. And laughing at me sometimes. I laugh at me, too! He is with me.
