Something I am afraid of...

"The Lord is my light and my salvation,

Whom shall I fear?

The Lord is the strength of my life,

Of whom shall I be afraid?"

Psalms 27:1

Fear.

This is an issue for me. 

While I don't see myself as a scaredy cat, I do deal with anxiety.

When I asked my family what I was scared of I got the answer of - spiders. LOL. 

I will admit they used to SCARE me, but now it's more of an intense dislike. 

Now, I can squish 'em instead of calling for someone else! :) 

So here is *MY* list that I came up with:

* Tornadoes

Tornado weather just freaks me out. 

I am very thankful that we do not live in tornado alley! 

And WHY do tornado watches happen at night when we can't SEE anything! ugh.

* Fire

Not really fire, but the thoughts of a house fire.

I'm not sure why. 

I've never been involved in a house fire.

Never had anyone really close to me involved in one either.

Yet, I remember being a little girl and looking out the back door totally petrified that our house would burn down.

I drive Good Ole Boy nuts, always asking about smells or electrical cords. Sigh. 

* Something happening to my kids

It's awful. 

I am totally paranoid here.

I don't like them jumping on a trampoline - what if they fall wrong and break their neck?

Letting them go swimming at camp - what if they aren't watched carefully and drown?

Now, I DO let them go and do things. 

I just worry the whole time they are gone.
I'll be a nervous wreck when Sis starts driving...

* Losing my family

What would I do without them?!

This is a big area for me. 

One that I am working on.

My family thinks I'm silly.

It's not a conscious choice - to be scared of something - it's just there.

I hate it. 

I wish it would go away. 

What are you afraid of?
