Fearful? Who Me?
As we mature into teenagers and young adults, the battle of the mind becomes a harsh reality. Peer pressure pulls one way, global trends another: and then there is a God. What does God want for you? What do you want? How close are you to goal? What needs to change? One word – fear.
