Conquering those fears....
What are fears? Are they reality or are they things our mind uses to play tricks on us? Maybe little ways we happen to let Satan into our lives. Tricks or not some fears can be totally paralyzing to us. I'm dealing with the fear of not being good enough. I don't need a ton of e mails telling me how good I am because I know what God says about fears. I'm just being real. I think we allow some fears into our lives so that we have an excuse to fail. Do we want to fail? Mostly no but we use that to get ourselves down from the start so that when/if our "fear of failure" really does happen we can say "see...I told you so!". But what if we give those fears to God from the start? Why is it we try to sabotage our future before it even happens? If we believed that God would improve things for us would that improve our motivation? Our outlook? Our drive for success? I would think so!!! How about we Pray Pray Pray! Isn't that what it's all about anyway? So what fears do you deal with? Let's try to put those in the Father's hands and find success from the start without the worry and fear getting to our core.

You're so smart. I had a great time at lunch on Friday! Thanks for meeting me!
Because we like to be in control so if we can make things happen our way...we will...
You make some very interesting points. Someone I love used to say "Let go and let God" meaning give it ("it" being whatever's holding you back, causing you worry or bringing you down) to God through prayer and let him handle it. Surely, he will help us find a way, if we only ask.
Thank you for the reminder to Pray Pray Pray. Something I forget under the rush and bustle of being busy busy busy.
Sounds like you had a wonderful Girls Night Out! Makes me realize just how much I miss my sisters!
