I've started gathering an encouraging playlist of songs I empathize with to keep me focused on my goal. Some of the songs include "Go the Distance" from Disney's Hercules and "Gravity" from Wolf's Rain.<br /><br />storitorigrace.blogspot.comVictoria Grace Howellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01849013182543674707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-26694902648824779312016-08-16T22:01:09.867-04:002016-08-16T22:01:09.867-04:00I'm so glad you can relate!

I mean, not glad that you are fearful, but it's nice to know that we are all human, and all in this together. #HighSchoolMuiscal #IWentThere<br /><br />I'm trying to embrace this as a wonderful and blissful adventure. Difficult, but like you said -- God's got this.

It's like the beginning of a great and unknown adventure!<br /><br />Man, you're so wise. I love that:<br /><br />"I realized, though, that this fear may not signal that we chose the wrong path but that we chose the right path."<br /><br />WOW! That is so powerful!! If we can't handle it, only God can. And our circumstances are to draw us closer -- and to make us more brave. <br /><br />Epiphany! :D<br /><br />Thank you so much! Never apologize for long comments - I love them. :) And you truly did encourage me. Can't wait to read your post!

That's part of a verse I'm memorizing! So good, so true. And I love when He gives us those tiny yet massive reminders :)<br /><br />I have not! I need to go look it up!<br /><br />Oooh, waffles.

THIS IS ME. I'm so fearful, and lately it seems to only be getting worse. Working on trusting that God's got this. <br /><br />Thank you for this lovely post, Erin:)Grace Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07864931544458385634noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-85818643240392738082016-08-16T21:44:44.647-04:002016-08-16T21:44:44.647-04:00Their lyrics are so applicable. It's actually ...Their lyrics are so applicable. It's actually pretty amazing to isolate the lyrics without the music and just read...idk, it's just poetry.<br /><br />Mmm, I know what you mean. Once I fall into that hole, it's like an endless "Woe is me" cycle. But I love the way you wrote that - "Knowing that He is real and cannot be threatened." He truly can't. <br /><br />Thanks for reading! :D <3<br /><br />Isn't it the bomb?!

I'm so sorry that you've had to deal with panic attacks and prolonged feelings of fear! You should definitely get the lyric as a tattoo. I think that would be really special :)<br /><br />Thanks again for your kind words!

I...I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH THE SAME THING!!!!!! I'm moving out (kinda) and have so many ministry and academic opportunities this semester, which excited me! But it also scares me, because it is something I cannot do alone. I realized, though, that this fear may not signal that we chose the wrong path but that we chose the right path. We shouldn't stay in this fear, but we should let it be a signal to us that God's got this. <br /><br />Man, didn't expect to write a blog post in this comment (but I already have one about fear in the schedule). I just want to encourage you like you encouraged me!!!Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11043759960107103458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-13909407212507149652016-08-15T13:14:36.611-04:002016-08-15T13:14:36.611-04:00I can totally relate.

Sometimes my reminder comes in a way of a song that comes on the radio, or a verse that will be on my Pinterest dashboard, or even just those still, small revelations that mean the world. He is so merciful to always give us what we need. :) <br /><br />Have you ever hard Walk on the Water by Britt Nicole?<br /><br />My favorite breakfast food is waffles. Though I'm off of gluten and dairy, so the waffles I have eaten recently just aren't quite the same. <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15514396066746617960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-64777869173768595762016-08-15T12:36:36.282-04:002016-08-15T12:36:36.282-04:00YAAAAS THANK YOU FOR THIS. <3 Well first... um....YAAAAS THANK YOU FOR THIS. <3 Well first... um... TWENTY ONE PILOTS. *flails* Car Radio is one of my favorites by them it's just so loaded and deep. That line you quoted in particular tho = mindblowwwwn. <br /><br />I definitely struggle with some of the same stuff. Fear is like a hole that I oftentimes know exactly where it is but I fall in it anyway and I know that I'm falling in but I can't stop it. But I guess what helps me is just bringing myself back to the center that is Christ in me. Knowing that He is real and cannot be threatened. <3<br /><br />thank you for sharing this, Erin :)<br />*hugs and waffles*<br /><br />>><<<br /><a href="http://www.abbieemusicblog.com/" rel="nofollow">abbiee</a><br /><br />p.s. i lOVE THIS NEW ROCK ON CURSOR <3333333Abbieehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08315835789865447678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6448346043705610950.post-31116634083466313232016-08-15T11:57:33.841-04:002016-08-15T11:57:33.841-04:00fear has been the biggest struggle Ive dealt with ...fear has been the biggest struggle Ive dealt with in my life.
