This is a very moving LO. You have conveyed a depth of feeling in a few words as far as the Lo goes. It moves me to shudders as I know fear is everywhere I turn yet there is a God who loves me and takes me under his wing to shelter me from lifes storm. All I need to do is take is outstretched hand but sometimes I hold back. I have a close family member with a panic disorder, however, she won't admit it. I wish she would get the help offered so that somethings could be different. I can't change the past...only look forward to the future and face fear right in the eye and say, "YOU WILL NOT WIN THIS ROUND. You may have won the battle but the WAR is not over!!" Thanks for sharing a moving lo!

this is very touching and deep. I had a near death experience a couple of weekends ago when I got into a canoeing accident and got pulled into a current. I always thought canoeing was no big deal, and not dangerous, then I read a story online last weekend about 3 boys that went canoeing and they were pulled into a current as well and one of them didn't make it our alive. Then I realized that came close to being me, needless to say I'm terrified of water now, but I count my blessing everyday now. It's taught me to love the life I have and to quit yearning for the lives others have. Yeah I may not be as rich as them, or as blessed as them, but I'm alive and I'm not homeless, and I have a beautiful family. Just thought I'd share becasue your layout is inspiring.

i know how crippleing fear can be but Thank God that He is near to the brokenhearted! i always fear that my fear will be my undoing. that ill never see my full potential becuase of it. DONT GIVE UP! God is always with us, on our side, rooting us on! Give your fears to God and let Him destroy them. one of my favorite songs is by Scott Krippayne entitled, Sometimes He Calms The Storm... All who sail the sea of faith Find out before too long How quickly blue skies can grow dark And gentle winds grow strong Suddenly fear is like white water Pounding on the soul Still we sail on knowing That our Lord is in control Sometimes He calms the storm With a whispered peace be still He can settle any sea But it doesn't mean He will Sometimes He holds us close And lets the wind and waves go wild Sometimes He calms the storm And other times He calms His child He has a reason for each trial That we pass through in life And though we're shaken We cannot be pulled apart from Christ No matter how the driving rain beats down On those who hold to faith A heart of trust will always Be a quiet peaceful place God bless you! much love and prayers,~ Amy

you are so right...God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mine. I say that scripture often myself. I am learning that fear is the opposite of faith. So I am choosing faith over fear. Having nothing to fear but fear itself is so right. I think this is an awesome reminder. God bless!!
