Fear not......
Recently, I had the opportunity to speak with a group of teens in an open forum. In exploring the topic of fear, I realized that they only thought of fear as being afraid of insects, heights, parents...etc. Upon asking them to dig deeper, we began to explore the fears of failure. They were expressing their deep darkest fears of being alone, not going to college, never being loved...etc. Then, one teen asked me what was my biggest fear.....(silence). How did they flip this to talking about me and trying to make me think..? :-) So, I had to admit that I have plenty of fears (scream) and one of them is the fear of being misunderstood. Hence, the blog in which I come out of my comfort zone and share my thoughts without worrying (not all of the time) about you misunderstanding...Okay, I am still working on it...LOL So, now I am turning the tables on you....What are you fearful of and why?

I hope everyone understands that it is okay to be fearful about certain things, but you can not let that overcome you. I didn't. Failure was my fear but now I realize that I can overcome a lot of obstacles if I put my mind to it. Honestly I am fearful about the future. I am in a profession that anything can happen. When I GO overseas I will be scared but HOPEFUL.(In need of a lot of support!) I love my job but I love my daughters more and do not want my daughters to grow up without me so I take it one day at a time! They gotta eat right! LOL
Part 2------- Ok....let me go in further detail. I want to be a good role model for my babies and I want to be there to see all their accomplishments and to experience life with them. As well as my husband. He is great, but I would not want him to go through it without me. Question....Is that selfish? The Lord already has it worked out. I understand.
right now my fear is going into preterm labor. i keep having these recurring dreams about it and i keep praying that it doesn't come true.
Good Topic. My biggest fear is losing the people closest to me.
Tanyetta we will all pray that you do not go into premature labor. My sister is expecting also and has had some difficult times. I will tell her to check out your blog. You have excellent information about mothers/children. Peolple check out Tanyetta's blog...I will learn how to add a link...LOL I am not that good yet:)
Kim...your fear is one that I can relate to...we are all getting older and our parents even older...may we all live forever:)
Tika...thanks for sharing. You are Army Strong:) We are proud of you. You stepped on your fear and put your feet firmly on the block of success....Hoorah! There is nothing selfish about wanting to be here for your children. If it is...I am very selfish...LOL
My biggest fear was growing up with simple fears. Example: fear of love ones dying, parents divorce, but as I gotten older those fears are not as frighting as they were because now I have an understanding that people is only human and death is inevitable. Now my only fear is not achieving family goals. Such as spending enough time with kids, and my wife and doing everything I can for them. I do not fear dying, impressing people, or people period. I just have a fear of not being a role model for my kids. I KNOW I am with them and I teach them but my fear is not being in their lives. I have grown and learned a lot over the years and I am sooooooooo happy to still be in my wife and children's lives. It means the world to me.
I am and always have been afraid of success. I have always felt I was not worthy of succeeding. Not in family, career, friends-anything!
MY Biggest fears are "FLYING" and "CRUISING" Yes, I have to be honest. . . Afraid to get on an airplane or ride on a cruise ship. Afraid to leave the country.
