It's often said that the Bible tells us, "Do not fear," or "Fear not," 365 times--one for every day of the year. While the actual count may very slightly depending on the translation, the concept is solidly accurate: God's Word is filled with reminders that we do not need to live in fear, regardless of life's uncertainties. Throughout the Bible, God repeatedly speaks to His people, encouraging them to let go of their fear and trust in Him. These messages often come in times of transition, trial, or uncertainty--moments when fear would seem natural. In Joshua 1:9, God says, "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Here, God speaks directly into Joshua's anxieties as he takes over leadership after Moses, reminding him that God's presence is a constant and unfailing support. The beauty of God's commands to "fear not" lies not only in their frequency but in their context. God's call to "not fear" is often accompanied by a promise of His presence, His protection, and His provision. He calms us with the promise that He will be with us, so we do not have to be afraid. This isn't a call to deny our fears but a reminder that we're not alone in them. God is present, willing to uphold and strengthen us through the trials. Living without fear is a process of surrender and trust. We grow in it day by day. Each time we read the words "fear not," it's as if God is tenderly reminding us of His faithfulness and unfailing love. So today, whatever fears you may face, remember that God speaks courage and hope into our lives--not once, but over and over. The same God who walked with Joshua invites us to trust Him. Get quiet long enough to listen to the whisper: "Do not fear, for I am with you."

This one really hit home ! One of the reasons I’ve contemplated getting off of social media amongst other things. Sorry if this post is not allowed . However , I think it’s totally fitting for anyone dealing with comparison .

I've had some people inquire about coaching/consulting, and I'd love to see if I could add more value to your life. Here's how it goes: 1. Setup initial 15 minute consult to discuss your project, idea and/or goal. This discussion allows both of us to determine if I'm a good fit for what you're journey. My best work is idea to conception to completion. I enjoy brainstorming ideas, crafting mission/vision statements, branding projects and fleshing out thoughts. If you don't have a concept or business yet, I can help. If you have one and you're looking to rebrand or change directions, I can help. And if you're looking to transition to something else to find additional sources of income, that's my bread and butter! Talks are held over zoom. And yes, it's FREE.

I really enjoy getting in the mix and my life is already very hectic, so I cannot take on too many clients. That means it's truly first come, first serve. [If you're out are already consulting or want to join my consulting team, HIT ME UP! Let's talk.] 3. Tell someone else about your experience! It's that simple. So yeah, I'm here to help if you're ready to truly get LOCKED IN on your goal! -Cornelius
