Take the Training Wheels Off Grandma
This week we bought my grandson a new bicycle. He got his first bike when he was two-years-old. He had to grow into it---even with the training wheels.
When we gave him the new bike the first thing he said was "Take the training wheels off grandma!" Of course, my heart sank at the thought of this four-year-old trying to ride his new "big boy bike" with no training wheels. But he kept insisting so we gave in and, lo and behold, he started riding in no time.
The moral to this story: You block your goals when you allow your fear to grow bigger than your faith.
Jarod proved that he had more faith than fear.

This is something that I needed to hear and it made a whole lot of sense, your grandson is brave and stands in his faith. That's awesome!
We all need to listen to the moral of this story and apply it to our lives.
Great comparison about fear. Keep it coming.
