About Barbara Fisher

Hello there. My name is Barbara Fisher and I am a new on the blogosphere. I have thought about doing this for sometime as I can be very opinionated about things and sometimes too much for Facebook. I am a married and the mother of two adult children, and the grandmother of seven. I am a Christian and have recently just moved my membership to a Reformed Baptist Church. I retired December 2012, and that has afforded me this opportunity to not overwhelm Facebook with my thoughts. I hope you find my blog – thought provoking, engaging, and interesting. Please let me know what you think. This is one venue where your feedback is the juice craved to keep going and going.

Shaking It Off

Daily Prompt

Being nervous can cripple and paralyze us from doing the things we really want to do. I know. I’ve been there over and over again, whether it being having to speak in public, sing a solo, or even launching into this blog.

I have learned that preparation to do the task, feeling confident in what I’ve prepared, and prayer to God helps me to do it regardless of the nerves.

Will nerves still grip me? Yes, sometimes, but I have to shake it off and keep moving. If I don’t I will remain stuck, and won’t achieve all that God may have for me.

So, shake it off! Or like Oprah says – “Do it afraid!”
