Crippled by Fear, Carried by Love

Hi, came back from mission trip :) served a small village in Kedah at Lunas Gospel mission church. So blessed by the youth serving with us. The children there are kampong kids, very independent, my encounter with a primary six girl who have to skip school to work at a coffee shop makes the trip meaningful. I encourage her to attend church regularly.
Yesterday, Pastor Bobby shared about Mephibosheth.
How he was cripple but yet because of God's kindness, he was brought to the king's table and ate there.
It spoke to me about what I have been thinking.
Hearing about swat  uninvitably brings uncertainty and fear. This fear has since crippled me in my decision making. After last night reading and meditating, being crippled isnt that bad either, like Mephibosheth, his immobility prevent him from running away or fight against David. His response when brought in front of David was to cry out, " Your servant !".
I can associate myself with him, my indecision crippled me, but I should be thanking God because that means He will carry me through. My attitude towards Him should be submission and servanthood.
Before my interview, joyce told me to seek God for a revelaton, matthew 6:33 came to my mind, and i read it particularly from Nirv version, 
“But put God’s kingdom first. Do what he wants you to do. Then all of those things will also be given to you.
I choose to obey inspite of the crippling situation, i can depend and trust God for His provision.
Can I go for swat class, there is no right time, i am ready.

Yours faithfully
