The choice

Everyday we have a choice.

We can either listen to the voice of fear or faith.

The voices of fear are louder than ever. Terrorism. Job loss. Oil spills. Climate change. The list is endless. It's any mental tape lodged in your brain that says some variation of you're not smart enough, strong enough or stylish enough.

The voice of faith is much quieter. It whispers while fear rants. It promises that someday all the struggle will be worth it, while fear screams to "get yours now!"

These days I've been trying more and more to silence the voices of fear. Most days I fail more than I succeed. But I'm slowly learning to trust. To be still and know that God is God.

More faith. Less fear. I like the sound of that.
