Yeah, I get to be first!

You have shone an intersting light on perspective.
I am working on a thought about understanding a perspective is a stronger step towards wittnessing than explaining one.

Girl, ya done started sumthin'  :-)

nice!   as a kid...  i was scared all the time, i guess most are...   i think when i was like 5 i saw some of Jaws (bad idea) and we had blue carpet and yeah...  i thought sharks were under my bed for sure haha!   i used to cry a lot too...    but anyway...    i LOVE this blog, i am thinking about being a psychologist...  i am really intrigued at the mind God has created...  its amazing...    most of you know i went through an apathetic state...  well, during that time, i lost the will to live, and stopped being scared of stuff...   so i don't really jump anymore at things...    i did finally jump while driving though, thought i saw a cat or something run out, but i didn't hit anything and when i looked back, nothing was there...          but spiders...  if i can see them, doesn't matter to me, but the thought that maybe one is lurking :-S   i don't like at all...    and as for "we have nothing to fear but fear itself"  didn't he continue by saying "and starving to death"?   but we don't even have to fear that, because God is....  well God....     and we are His children <3  we are in "better hands now"   ya know?       Jesus just wants to take our fears and doubts and burdens and keep them on himself, that we might be free...   just put your faith in Him <3

Fear is one of the things that I think God gave me as a way to seek Him out.  The 'condensed' version of my testimony is that the way I was raised and taught to think about religion was going to end with me dying in my sin.  My overwhelming (at times) fear of what happens when you die FINALLY led me to Jesus,and I thank God for that fear now!

Though I still have some fears - I don't like swimming where there are fish or too much seaweed.  :)

Very good blog Cheryl.  I wrote a blog a while back and I believe I titled it something about the glass being half empty or half full.  Funny how we can have such different perspectives on life...not only between individuals, but in our own selves, whatever our mood might be in a certain day.

OUTSTANDING   Star  Star 


Well Cheryl I must admit I do have a fear of most creepy crawly things, and a few on that list but I take the  
Bull by the horns and pray until I over come the fear. 

MY SONG


FEAR NOT, O LITTLE FLOCK
Fear not, O little flock, the foe
Who madly seeks your overthrow;
Dread not his rage and pow’r:
What though your courage sometimes faints,
His seeming triumph o’er God’s saints
Lasts but a little hour.

Be of good cheer; your cause belongs
To Him who can avenge your wrongs;
Leave it to Him, our Lord:
Though hidden yet from all our eyes,
He sees the Gideon who shall rise
To save us and His Word.

As true as God’s own Word is true,
Nor earth nor hell with all their crew
Against us shall prevail.
A jest and byword are they grown;
God is with us, we are His own;
Our vict’ry cannot fail.

Amen, Lord Jesus, grant our pray’r;
Great Captain, now Thine arm make bare,
Fight for us once again;
So shall Thy saints and martyrs raise
A mighty chorus to Thy praise,
World without end.

Great blog my friend....I can certainly relate....I've had a similar situation happen to me with spiders....and I can assure you me and spiders don't do well.....I happened to be *driving* my car...and noticed this little critter crawling along the dash board....Welllll I almost had the BIG ONE...(smile)  I had to pull the car over and get a grip...pray...scream...and call on Jesus (smile). Needless to say....the spider spun his web, and slid down in an air vent somewhere....so I had to *trust God*.....get back on the road, and make my way to work...

Keep em coming my sister...keep em coming!!!!
Love you!

I just started calling every spider I saw - "Charlotte"  and sometimes Charlotte had an untimely demise!  Not to spiritual was it -  oops - I just changed it's image -- 
But mine I have to really dig deep with is BATS -- can't think of a nice movie with a bat in it -- and I do not care if they eat bugs --- I am still working on those things

Fear is a natural part of us.  It gets us moving when the alternative may be dangerous.  There are irrational fears that grip people's lives and crush their spirits.

Overcoming fears is the ability to see the truth in the situation and react accordingly (I know - easier said than done).  When we realize that something is not really known to us, we fear it - the unknown.  It pushes us from our comfort zone.

I think that too many Christians have an unnatural fear about doing God's will - mostly because they do not know God's will - or possibly know God well enough to trust.  In Christian circles fire and brimstone was used as a fear to motivate people to seek God.  Fear moves people.  The, what we nee dis movement toward peace and love and comfort in knowing that we do not need to be in control as long as God is.



(Oh, and I don't like anything with more than 4 legs either - !!!!)
