I. do. not. like. birds. They are just terrifying creatures for one (like the tower from yesterday, birds just scream scary movie to me), and
I am always paranoid that they are going to take care of their
"business" on my shoulder. So if I don't like birds so much then why
did I decide to run at them and make them scatter? No, it was not because I was
suddenly filled with the courage to overcome my fear. Instead I was simply
being foolish, and to my unfortunate surprise the birds decided to take revenge
and fly back at me. I repeat I. DO NOT. like. birds.So why am I sharing this fowl story with you? Well mostly because there is picture evidence of my ridiculous adventure, and I would like to just go ahead and own up to it rather then have it held against me as blackmail. But I am also writing about the bird incident because it is crucial to overcome your fears. It is terribly cliché, but people need to dream BIG!!
I want to travel; I have a passion for learning about all types of cultures and people. I wish to share with them the love of Jesus, and in order to do that I must know what they believe first. I need to and want to know how they live on a daily basis, and what better way to learn that then through travel?
Although I truly believe God has called me to a life that involves adventuring across the globe, it is scary for me to think about my dreams of exploring the world being unattainable. I want it so badly that it worries me to think I might not have it. Yet at the same time I am terrified of following my dreams. What if I fail? What if I miss my family and friends? Is this truly what God is calling me towards? What about the life that I love back in the U.S? Despite these ever growing fears I can't let it over take me. I must be bold and courageous! And though I still do not like these feathery winged monsters, I can certainly learn a lesson from them. Fly in the direction of your fears.
