Foolish girl

I've spent a big part of my life trying to avoid being uncomfortable or looking foolish, and it tears me up inside how many opportunities to share the Truth with people I have missed because of it.  God showed me today that it's time for me to be done with the avoidance of looking foolish.  It doesn't mean I'm going to go around doing stupid things for no reason.  It does mean that choices in my life from here on out are going to be based on what God calls me to do, & not based on what I will look like to everyone else.  After all, my life is not my own. I have been bought with a price: the precious, priceless blood of Jesus.  He has ruined me to all else.  
I know I can't do this on my own.  Only through the power of the Holy Spirit is this possible.  Please pray for my sensitivity to the Spirit, and my obedience.  

"I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened, so that you will know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints,  and what is the surpassing greatness of His power toward us who believe." Ephesians 1:18,19
