Taking Risks

I have to confess this year has been anything but normal to me.  January marked my return to school ten years after graduating from high school.  It was a risky choice.  Life was already busy as a wife, mother, church leader, musician and radio host.  It sure was already challenging, but something inside screamed for more.  I needed growth before the inner fighter became too weak, and eventually died.  Things don’t affect every person the same way.  For me, being out of school and  staying around the environment and the people I already knew was beginning to make every unfamiliar situation or person a source for anxiety.  Going to the store for example, was fine.  It was fine mostly because I had already picked the two stores I knew best, but the moment I got in line I started to wonder if the cashier would ask anything, you know, those deep questions like “did you find everything you were looking for?”.  It scared me to think I was becoming too afraid to hold a brief friendly conversation with anyone new.  I mean, what went next???  So, with God’s help, I decided to fight against fear and take risks.  Enrolling in college was one of those risks.  Another one has to do with a video project that was out of the usual for me.  This is when the idea for the “Solo Contigo” video clip came along. It pushed me to come out of my comfort zone in order to share God’s plan of salvation, and well, here it is!
