Facing Fear in Sioux Falls, South Dakota

Recently, I traveled to Sioux Falls for a speaking engagement. My plan was to talk to junior high and high schools on my usual theme: ‘Keep Your Uniform On.’ Part of the presentation was on how to overcome fear.

As I traveled in my car on the South Dakota interstate and freeway, I thought how ironic is it that I have a real life example on how to face fear because the heavens were opening up with buckets of rain.  I couldn’t see the road.  So being a Christian, I prayed for help and safety. It was still extremely difficult but I made to my hotel.

The next day, unknown to my audience, I had practiced in a real way what I would say about fear later.

Fear is a real emotion and a difficult one. Sometimes all we can do is persevere. Are you facing your fears?

Be Available to Someone Today

I met Debbie (not her real name) after one of my speaking opportunities at a high school. She wanted to talk and I wanted to listen. She figured I was safe.

She told me her story. Her father moved to a new job and a new city. Debbie was part of the move with a new school and new classmates. She didn’t fit in. She thought about suicide but thankfully decided it wasn’t God’s way.  But getting up there to speak in my brokenness (cerebral palsy and stuttering) gave this young woman hope.

We all have life stories. We all have brokenness.  Be willing to share part of your story when it might help someone else on their difficult journey.

Follow your dreams, but be prepared to make adjustments in your journey.
