Fearless

When I was younger I had many phoebias. I was terrified of swimming pools because I thought there were crocidiles in there. I couldn't go any where near an ice rink because I thought the ice would break and I would drown in the icy water. I was also scared stiff of taking a shower, because I thought snakes and lizards would come out of the faucet. For that reason my parents decided to take desperate measures and enroll me in Figure skating lessons ( they solved the swimming pool phoebia by giving my a geography lesson. They shoved me into the shower and turned on the faucet, ignoring my cries of terror, whiched completly solved the shower fear.) Skating was the last one to go.


My dad tied on my skates, adjusted my scarf, gave me a kiss and pushed me into the rink. I tilited my head towards the celing and let out a scream that would have made any self respecting banshee proud. Then I felt a not so gentle hand on my shoulder. "Hey, you keep that up and you'll have the whole army here." said my skating teacher. It was the beginning of the end. I would like to say that even though it was hard at first, I mastered the art of figuring skating and now am a world class skater. But unfournalty life isn't like a Visa commerical. It is much more expensive. Anyways, long story short, I endured the skating classes for 4 weeks and after they were done, when my parents asked me if I would like to continue, I had 2 words for them. No Mas! They got the hint.


11 YEARS LATER..


I can proudly say that I am no longer scared of those other things that used to give me nighmares. Now I am scared about some not so visible apponements. Like my future, what I want to do, how to pay for my college tution, etc. If I let them, my fears could spin round and round my head until I was wrapped like a ball of yarn. I can't let them keep me from living my life. The Bible says 365 times not to fear. That's once for every day. God doesn't want us to wrapped ourselves into a fearful ball of yarn. He wants us to trust Him with everything in our lives. There is no point in us being afraid of something or someone. God is watching our lives not for the sake of entertainment, but because He genuinly cares about you. He loves you. He wants to wipe your fears all away and come in and save the day. But He can't without your permission. He would never go against your will. Even if it means your destrucition. It's your choice. Will you give Him permission to save you from all the monsters of life? He is waiting, He will always be waiting.
