Victory over fear... a work in progress

On October 24th I will be having a show based on this blog called of course  "Victory Over Fear" It's an acoustic show with some great musicians and singers. I'm nervous!! This has been a crazy journey leading up to the show! I have had fear hit me every way possible!  Oh how fitting that a show called victory over fear would test my faith a million times!lol

Will I know all the words? Will people come out on a Thursday night ? How am I going to do this without Lauren?(Lauren usually plays the keyboard for me) I had to change musicians a couple of times, I have been having the hardest time remembering the words and everybody's schedule is so busy to rehearse ugh. This show has definitely been a struggle to get together. Is this show apart of  teaching me how to lose control and take me to the next level of conquering this fear? I almost wanted to cry leaving  rehearsal last night because of my fear of things not coming together. I'm going to take this fear and turn it into faith. I know everything will be alright in the end it always is...

My best friend told me today,"change your thinking and perspective and know that it will all work out"I have to trust that everything will be OK. Deuteronomy 31:6  says: Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the LORD your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you. I know that it will all work out. I have been putting in the work and it will all come together. My intentions for this show is just like the intentions for this blog , to inspire and to put words to the movement of victory over fear out here. Daily fear and doubt, wants me to choose them , but I chose to work hard, trust in God and in myself that this show will do what the intention of the show is built upon. If I don't hit very note, and dang it I might even  forget a word but I hope to make everyone feel like they can do anything when they leave the show. I hope to see you at the show because a lot of blood,sweat,and tears went into this. I just hope to plant the seeds of freedom for everyone who is in the room that night and that maybe someone in the room will decide to start their journey of striving to have victory over fear.My pastor Pierre du Plessis said,"Either your faith will speak over your fear or your fear will silence your faith" I'm gonna let that faith speak !
