BBQ: Walk Free

Have you ever had an idea for a blog post or a prompting of your spirit to write about something…then you started writing…got frightened of where your thoughts were leading and how much of your real self you were sharing and you either stopped writing, saved it as a draft or abandoned the post altogether? Or in my case…all of the above?

Man this struggle is real and I have over 21 “drafts” to prove it.

“There are so many things I want to write about, I get overwhelmed and write about none. And the crazy thing about that is, it feels like I keep myself locked inside a cage.” – Michele-Lyn Ault

BOOM! I’m not alone.

Today’s Beautiful Blog Quote comes from the lovely, faith-centered Michele-Lyn Ault, of A Life Surrendered who shared this post on Monday.

It was exactly what I needed to read that day. She was so honest about what she was facing and I felt that her words were echoing my struggle of late. When I lock myself in this cage of fear, I deny my soul the expression it needs.

And according to Michele-Lyn, “Only I have the key.” Which is the even crazier thing about this fear. I created this cage and I am the only one who can free myself.

Face the fear. Open that cage. Walk free.

Are you struggling with this fear? How are you dealing with it? Please feel free to share below.
