So I'm now over at Timothy's house (soon to be mine and timo's house), and I have a confession. I'm a scaredy cat. I have a tendency to have a small fear of at least... everything. I don't know when this started; because I used to be absolutely fearless. I would try anything! But now, not so much. I know I shouldn't be scared of anything because I should put all of my trust in God, but obviously I have not put all of my trust there. I think maybe this happened when I started college and had to completely rely on myself; now I just trust myself to do things, and I have truly been trying to let it go.
Last night Timothy nonchalantly tells me that there have been a lot of burglaries lately in Florence, so I need to be sure to lock the doors today when I am by myself. I absolutely flipped out. A break-in and flying are two of my biggest fears. When I'm at home in Scottsboro, I could sleep with all the doors unlocked and a sign that says "Come on in", and I would still feel safe. If I'm anywhere else I think something is going to get me! I even dreamed about it last night after Timothy mentioned the burglaries.
In my sunday school class at First Methodist, we are doing a study with Max Lucado's book Fearless. This book talks exactly about what I was dealing with last night. Obviously I haven't read too much of this or I would have some back-up talk in my mind about how I am crazy for being so paralyzed by my fears.
Does anyone else have something in their lives of which they are very frightened?
