A poem for 2018

In this season of hesitation
I am learning bravery, 
and to ask,
why do I pause?
where is the fear taking me?

I remember that God is good
all the time,
and especially on Mondays,
when movement is easier.

I say goodbye to unhelpful questions
that keep me paralyzed and afraid of failure.
I say hello to all that is before me: 
awkward moments, uncertain hours, 
 a racing heart -
the feel of YES.
