One of the downsides (well, in the end, it's a positive) of following Gods will/way, is that you find that not everyone who started or joined you during the course of your journey--to this point--will be able to continue on with you now. This is a different path altogether. Sometimes, NO ONE will understand, because God operates to HIS understanding and it's up to us to have faith even before we "get it".
So if you haven't started working on gaining courage yet and you want to follow in Gods will--do it (get courage) now!!! This life is not for the faint of heart, to be sure. What I can promise is that God is ALWAYS true to His word and WILL take care of you.
So if your thinking about it and you're scared--take a breath, pray, get courage and walk in faith; if you're in the midst and things are bombarding your faith, take a breath, pray, get MORE courage and keep pushing!! You will NEVER be alone--God is always there and you won't be disappointed!!!
