 Today,  I will let you know 3 fears I have and why.

1) I am fearful of anything terrible every happening to one of my children. Terrible as in, irreversible. This has been a fear since the moment I laid eyes on them. I know... I know... this is Satan planting a fear in me, but it is something that comes to my mind. We will be playing outside, the skies will be blue, my babies will be laughing and bringing smiles to my face. I will think, "Wow! Could life be any more perfect?" and there it is. This FEAR that starts saying, "What if??? What if something terrible happened? HOW could you go on? HOW do other people do it?" and so on and so forth. I can even start boo-hooing my eyes out with just the thought of the fear. I love my children with every ounce of my being. I know all moms have felt this fear at one time or another and if you have children, you understand. It is a FEAR! The book I have, The Power of a Praying Parent has taught me that anytime a FEAR concerning my children comes to mind, to take that as an opportunity to cover them in prayer concerning whatever my mind just thought up. So, I have learned to take it to God and to cover my babies in prayer.

2) I am scared of heights. I don't know why, but I am. We were at the water park in FL while on vacation. Brent and I were in line for this ride called, Eye of the Storm. You had to climb lots and lots of stairs. I was ok with the ride itself, but when I looked down, I started panicking. My heart started racing. I felt SCARED! I didn't know if I could go through with the ride. It wasn't even the ride I was scared of (Ok, maybe a little bit. LOL).

3) I am scared of having a car wreck. A really BAD car wreck. I have never been in a really bad one and I pray I never am, nor are any of my loved ones. To me, that has to be so frightening. 

There you go. 3 fears. I am really scared of so much so I had to think of things I think about on a regular basis. More than heights for #2, I am scared of coming home at night by myself and walking in. LOL. But, you already learned that yesterday, so I thought I would give you a little bit more insight into ME!! The crazy and complex woman that I am.

I hope you all have a wonderful Friday. I am off to cook breakfast for my gang and then head to Ringgold to drop the boys off before starting my crazy day. I am meeting a mom at Starbucks in Chattanooga (she lives about 30 minutes north and wanted to shave some time off my drive and she was wanting out of the house.). I'll never complain over a visit to Starbucks OR getting to see a precious new baby girl :D
