I Could Have Missed This

I was recently introduced to the song Fear Is A Liar by Zach Williams.  At first, I wasn't a big fan.  Probably because it spoke truth I didn't want to hear.  But like so many other songs, it grew on me.  And like songs do, it occasionally gets stuck in my head.  And as I'm singing it to myself, or Gus, or MJ, or the dog, I started to really think about the words.  Here is the chorus:

Fear, he is a liar
He will take your breath
Stop you in your steps
Fear he is a liar
He will rob your rest
Steal your happiness
Cast your fear in the fire
'Cause fear he is a liar

And it dawned on me that I almost let fear win.  And maybe I didn't like the song at first because it took me back to that time and made me feel those emotions all over again.  After our first adoption attempt failed, we were stuck in a hard place.  Stuck between guarding our hearts and living our dream.  Wanting to protect our sanity and each other, it was really hard to decide to move forward with adoption again.  I'm not even sure what the deciding factor was that pushed us forward.  But had we let fear win, we could have missed this...

Don't let fear win.
