The fear of the unknown

So to answer my question, where I left you hanging on to the edge of your seats. What did Jeff think? Well it took me two and a half weeks to actually tell him. Trust me I thought of the scripture found in Luke 9:26 "For whosoever shall be ashamed of me and of my words, of him shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he shall come in his own glory, and in his Father's, and of the holy angels" many times. It wasn't that I was ashamed though, it was all those thoughts Satan puts in our head. You're not going have any friends. Your life is going to be boring and the worst for me, Jeff is going to leave you! For me that was the worst possible thing that could have happened, remember my life was good, cushy and running just fine the way it was going.

Well, eventually one evening I decided I couldn't keep it to myself anymore. I had already stood at church and testified to my salvation and to my family. If I was going to continue my walk I had to tell him and accept whatever the consequences would be. So I expected the worst and hoped for the best. All my worrying was for not, either he figured, "no biggie" it was just a phase or he really didn't mind. He was so kind and told me whatever I needed to do when it came to my faith, do it! His one stipulation however was don't ask him to join me.

So there it was, I was free to be me in my Christianity and he had no intentions of leaving me because of it. God took care of my first prayer request and little did I know at the time, He was going to take care of many more in the years to come.

So my question this post is, What's holding you back, the things the enemy is telling you might happen is going to happen, like I suggested? Better yet, is it the loved one you're afraid is going to walk away from you? God is bigger than anything we can imagine and when we take our fears and worries to him, He WILL take care of them.
