Last week as I was leaving for work, I had a pleasant surprise waiting for me in my car. Little did I know that when I opened my car door- there would be a YELLOW JACKET and it's NEST just chillin in the crack my car door. Some nerve that yellow jacket had thinking that Snow White (my car) was his home sweet home! NO WAY is that acceptable. But it was too late, this yellow jacket made himself comfortable. SO, what's a girl to do?!
I stood there debating for a couple minutes AND because I was too AFRAID to attack the yellow jacket myself- I DROVE ALL THE WAY TO WORK WITH A YELLOW JACKET 6 INCHES AWAY FROM ME! Ahh, knowing that this beastly thing was super close to me freaked me out the whole way to work!
I had something I was very scared of right behind me and I did not do anything to face the fear. I could have easily attacked the yellow jacket with my bag, some antifreeze or my banana peel : ) - but I chose to let the fear overcome me.
How often do we let fear stop us from doing what we know is right?
A great quote from Joyce Meyer states: "DO IT AFRAID!" I love this quote because it reminds us that fear can be overcome by simply facing whatever we are afraid of. This quote also implies that fear is not a valid reason to justify our actions or lack thereof.
DO IT AFRAID.
Go get all those YELLOW JACKETS in your life :)
