Jasmine Washington: Just a Friendly Reminder

Today I was just going through my old journal to show a sister what I did in the same position that she may find herself in. I ended up coming across something that I’ve told to so many people but then to see that I wrote this myself, I was blown away.Well before I go further, let me show you what I wrote

May 14th, 2008

… He’s experiencing fear, gear gets you no where in life. It holds you back from the blessing God put in front of you. I feel like fear is almost a sin in some cases. God puts forth some amazing things, and you may experience fear of what may happen if you take the opportunity given to you. We all will experience this, but God never puts forth more than what you can handle so if the opportunity is challenging and scary just take it. Just trust that God will help you whenever you need him. ..

At this time in my life, this is something I needed to hear. But to hear this from myself, I feel like I just got slapped in the face but a good slap. I’ve been fearing what will happen after May 15th (graduation) for almost a year now, and as the days draw near, my anxiety and stress intensify but what gives me this anxiety and stress is my own fear. Its the fear of not knowing what will happen tomorrow or the next day or the next day after that.

The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you FREED!
