fear...

you know how sometimes you feel like something is running your life? taking over? setting up residence and resistant to eviction?
i'm familiar with this feeling.
and the last few days...fear is my annoying tenant.
the stuff i'm fearful of is real. it could happen. it may be happening a little bit right now. but it does not deserve the star treatment i am giving it.
and i WISH, so badly, that i could walk away from fear, tell it to move out - or at least turn down it's da$m stereo.
but, i'm struggling. and i'm tired. and i'm afraid. so, it is what it is. and i'm blogging about it because sometimes that helps. we shall see.

I want to reach through this screen and hug you. I struggle with fear. It is TOXIC to healthy, free living in Christ.

Take it to the cross.

Yeah, I wish I didn't relate, but I do. There is much to fear, that is for sure. But I'm with Janelle, take it to the cross. That's the only way I get through those times. Love you!

Praying for fear to take a hike.

love you Lil!
