Jumping off the cliff

I'm teetering on a cliff edge... do I jump? Do I fall backwards? If I fall backwards I don't think I'll ever have the guts to get back up.
I want to be a Doula, I want to be a childbirth educator, I know the Lord has put this on my heart. So where is all the fear coming from? Failure. I'm so afraid I'm going to fail before I've even started.

The Lie: I'll start and won't be able to finish, I will fail.
The Truth: God will not let me fail. This battle has already been won.

I have had prophetic words spoken over me before that have told me I will have a ministry to young women, I have seen my name under childbirth in a heavenly place, so just DO IT!!!!

Yes, Lord! YES, LORD!!!!

I am diving head first and putting all my trust in Him. I am thanking Him for what He has already done, is doing now, and will continue to do. I will find joy in this journey :)

So, the plan now is to become a certified DONA doula and certified childbirth educator through ICEA.

Only through you, Lord.
