Remember that time in your life where you walked down the sidewalk and made sure you never stepped on a crack for fear you might break your mothers back? Or that split second fear you possess when you realize you have no idea where your phone is or you forgot something extremely important?
Fear is interesting to me. It's a seriously unpleasant emotion that changes the way you think and act in an instant. Being in an "unfamiliar" place with a VERY unfamiliar language has brought some fears out in me. But as I sit here, on day one of being "mom" for the next 3 weeks, watching a 5 year old have the time of his life killing flies; I can't help but thank God for fear. It gives me the chance to let Him work through me and gives me a chance to work on being codependent and not independent.
During my times of "fear" I'm praying I keep this word close to my heart. "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand" Isaiah 41:10
I'm thankful for the righteousness God possess and allows me to see in His time and not mine.
