Cage of Fear

I finished reading Wild Goose Chase today and have been thinking a lot about some of the points the book makes. First of all the Wild Goose Chase is all about pursuing God and all the ups and downs and twist and turns that come with the adventure of following the Wild Goose (God). The author discusses a couple different cages that keep us from the chase. There is the cage of guilt, the cage of assumption, the cage of fear and some others. Right now I am thinking about that cage of fear. I am so nervous about the decision to move to Robbinsville because I have some definite fears. If you know me I tend to not give myself credit and tend to feel unwanted and am not big on being by myself. With that I have some fears about living on my own and wondering if I will even be able to do anything to help camp and the people there or simply make a difference. I know that is a crazy thought but none the less it is a lie satan feeds me and often I believe it. I want to fight that. I don't want to put God in a box or not trust him. Now a final decision hasn't been made and I'm not packing my bags just yet, however I think that it will be soon, and I think I will go. I don't want the cage of fear to keep me from investing in something I love. Nor do I want my fear to keep me from the adventures God has for me. The next few days should be interesting!
