JUST DO IT

It Will Be Ok

Yesterday I felt like a nervous little girl teetering on the edge of a high dive.  I really wanted to jump off that board, but a panicky voice in my head  kept echoing:

                                    “Maybe you’re not good enough.”

                                    “Wonder if you do a face plant?”

                                    “Everyone’s going to laugh at you.”

Finally, the scared little girl mouthed to the Universe, “Help me!”

Here I was a 75 year-old woman sitting at the computer all morning afraid to take a chance.    I had finished my blog entry and had filled in all the information on Substack.   I was staring nervously at the PUBLISH button, teetering back & forth when my  phone rang:  

                                     “Hi, Mrs. Stoneburner, this is Andy Green. Do you remember me? It’s been over 20 years.   I’m up  here in Detroit thinking about you.  I’m the Co-Host of a popular radio show called Dave and Chuck the Freak now.  I wanted to say ‘Thank You!” You were the one person who cared about me and showed me what I could do.”

Did God answer me? Does He use the phone? I don’t know…

So just in case I hit the PUBLISH button.
