I was scared to death, but I felt God wanted me to try out. I was one of about a hundred students who came that rainy night in Redding. No one knew what songs we would have to sing. We were on the big Bethel stage and worship leader Stephanie Gretzinger handed me sheet music to a song I had never heard. The music started and I gasped nothing into the mic. I was overwhelmingly embarrassed; felt old; felt dumb; felt small; felt uncool. I stepped off the stage past the judges and so many young, talented witnesses.
I still can’t believe I did that.
But here's the rest of the story. Since that failure, I've had to brave many new things. As a result of that and other trials and errors, I've come to know who I am and what I'm called to. I dream more dreams and embrace opportunities. I fear less. I create!
I changed that night I trusted God. My big fail had purpose.
So, I challenge you. What crazy risk are you afraid to take? Is it too big a price to pay to see your destiny unfold? (I pray right now this is speaking to someone.)
