Welcome to the Upper Room. So glad you came.
I had the privilege of encouraging a beloved goddaughter of mine this morning on the need to take life by the reins and cut a path for herself. She is overwhelmed with fear. That is normal. Isn't it? We all are scared to venture out into a new field.
We are easily bombarded with fear. Fear of being clumsy at it, while we get a gripe of it. Fear of failing, and disappointing those who have entrusted us. Fear of losing and missing the goal. And, the funniest of all, the fear of actually succeeding and becoming different from those we are present with.
None of these is localized, by any stretch. The only qualification for them is being human. However, whether it overcomes us or not is up to each individual. The buck stops with us. It is up to us to make the decision to give in to it or overcome it.
I am proud and delighted to see my daughter take the challenge. I'll be sharing the success stories.
Let's pray.
The Saint.
