Zip Lining... but I'm afraid of heights :-(
While facilitating a Greek retreat in the woods at a YMCA campsite, I had the opportunity to face my fears dead on. I am afraid of heights and afraid of drowning (I can not swim), yet I managed to ride the 300 ft zip line, and go canoeing on the lake. During both events, I was scared out of my mind and there was a small part of me that felt I was going to die. However, I have been listening to Kirk Franklin's new CD, "Hello Fear" and it has challenged my notions of dealing with my fears. Not wanting to be paralyzed, I challenged myself to at least stare fear in the eyes this weekend and I am very proud of myself.
