Since then we have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but one who in every respect has been tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need. (Hebrews 4:14-16 ESV)
Are you a confident person? It really has taken me years to become a confident woman; and there are still days where I do not feel confident at all.
One thing that has helped me grow over the years is who I am in Christ. When I have days that I don’t greet confidentially, I will feel better once I spent some time with God in the morning. No matter which devotion I turn to, I know that His World will give me the confidence I need to step out in the day.
October 3rd, 2013, will be a day that will be very significant to me. Not only is October 3rd a German holiday, but 2013 will mark the day that I will step out of my comfort zone and embrace new challenges. My little, tiny company “Iris Nelson Portraits LLC” will get published. I will rush to Barnes & Noble in the morning to pick up the Arizona Business Gazette to see my company name in ‘print’ other than my blog or website 🙂 …
This past Monday, my friend Lori posted a fabulous quote on Facebook that I really like and that is so fitting for my current situation:
“It’s impossible” said pride. “It’s risky” said experience. “It’s pointless” said reason. “Give it a try” whispered the heart”…
And I will add to that:
“Jesus looked at them and said, “With man it is impossible, but not with God. For all things are possible with God.”
(Mark 10:27 ESV)
