Saying "Yes"-An Ongoing Adventure

So I just want to thank y’all for following along with me the past couple of weeks. I have filled you in with lots of good info about things I’ve been up to, people I’ve met, projects I’ve started, conferences I’m attending, etc.

That’s what God has asked Katie to say yes to. He will ask me and you to say yes to different things. I hope we will be able to. Sometimes I feel like I will probably fail, that I will let fear or inadequacy get the best of me and I may say “sorry God I just can’t do. . . “. I just don’t know. But I do know that there will be plenty of opportunities and it’s what we do with these opportunities that will shape who we are.

I’ve shared about some of my recent opportunities, but maybe there are some you’re facing right now. Maybe your just not sure. It might be an
