What are you so afraid of is one question I continually wonder about every time I realize that I have yet again started and stopped this book. [To be honest] Rejection is one thing...I fear, but rejection by whom? Who do I feel will reject me? I can't surely be concerned with complete strangers rejecting me...I don't know them and they don't know me.
...Maybe...I fear ridicule from other believers, especially other pastors....Its almost like their critical voices have replaced Jezebel....I think my fear is a personal issue since I will need to mentally return to events and places in my mind that frankly I would much rather forget about.
...The bottom line with this book is that I gotta go deep. I have to make the reader understand why this is so important, and what they can do to help themselves or someone they know that's going through this. But, how deep do I go?
...I just feel like I'm fighting a losing battle. But I must keep the faith. I have to use what I have and know and build upon that. I am gonna have to get over my fears in the name of Jesus and get this book written....I can no longer afford to be scared or procrastinate because someone is waiting on me to help them before its too late. This book is apart of my destiny. Everything else will be built upon my ability to be obedient to the voice of God!
