Jeremiah's fears & mine

Jeremiah 1-
The Lord gave me a message. He said, "I knew you before I formed you in your mother's womb. Before you were born I set you apart & appointed you as my spokesman to the world."
I said to the Sovereign Lord," I can't speak. I am too young"
"Don't say that for you must go wherever I send you & say whatever I tell you. Don't be afraid of the people, for I will be with you and take care of you. I the Lord has spoken."

Then the Lord touched Jeremiah's mouth & said, "See I have put the words in your mouth. I appoint you to stand up against nations & kingdoms, you are to uproot some & tear them down, to destroy & overthrow. You are to build others up & plant them." "Get up & get dressed, go out & tell them whatever I tell you to say. Do not be afraid of them...for I am with you & will take care of you. I the Lord have spoken."

Wow! I am soooo much like Jeremiah. I am fearful of failing. Of disappointing the Lord, or others, or myself. I am too young to go and do God's work(this is clearly an excuse since I am in my 30's)
I have so many projects that I am just sitting on...just waiting for something BIG to happen...but nothing happens because I don't ACT!!!!! I don't Do what God wants me to do. I sit, I wait, I fear, I make excuses, I listen to the negative remarks that that jerk Satan is telling me"this is not good enought, you can't do this, that will never work..."
But my God is saying something VERY different...

For He is the one who created me. He is the one that knew me before I was even concieved. He gave me these desires, these ideas...what am I waiting for?

Right now, my book that I wrote almost 3 years ago, is waiting to be published. It's waiting to be read, the words that God gave me are waiting to be heard. I NEED to act! I need to DO what God is calling me to do.
I am moving forward...knowing that God is gently saying" I am with you, I will give you words to say, I will take care of you..."
With Him I will NOT fail!!!!
