My knees would go weak, sweat would bead on my forehead, and my voice would climb a few octaves. I would suffer from stage fright. That was not good because I am often on stage. Whether it’s because I’m singing, acting, or juggling fifteen lit candles while eating a giant sugar-free squid dumpling. Stage fright wasn’t exactly welcomed into my life. However, I have overcome my stage fright by knowing that all things are possible with God.
I love biking and I love climbing hills, or “inclines” as we call them. If I am full of energy, I can zoom right up the inclines, but if I’m tired and my gel bike seat has mysteriously turned to stone, I need an extra nudge up the inclines. Especially if that incline happens to have the word “Mount” in front of its name. I basically make it through every mountain by singing songs and talking loudly to God. My conversations basically consist of, “God, why in the world did you put this mountain here? Why couldn’t you have placed it fifty miles away? Or at least installed an escalator?” However, every time that an incline has snuck up on me, God has pushed me up the hill and reminded me that all things are possible with Him.
Whenever I get ready to step out onto the stage or see a giant hill stepping in front of my path, I remember that with God all things are possible. One little prayer gives me the courage to step out onto the stage, to zoom up the hill, or swallow the sugar-free squid dumpling.
