Day 10 (will get back to day 9)

Day 10-Something you're afraid of

At first when I saw this one I thought, hmmm, not sure I'm afraid of too much. I'm not afraid of snakes or spiders like most girls are. Not that I would hope to find either one in my bed when I pull back the covers mind you but I don't freak out when I see a spider on the wall or floor of my house and I used to catch snakes as a kid.  I think having two older brothers helped with this. I had to be tough (or at least act it) so they wouldn't think I was a baby.  My sister is afraid of heights. I'm not.  

But then I started to really think and the list of things I am afraid of started getting pretty extensive so I'll spare you and it will be just a list...

Failure

Cancer

Rejection from my kids

Getting called to serve in the nursery at church

Gatlin never graduating from high school

Gregory never moving out of our basement

Having a stroke

One of the kids being permanently injured in an accident

Getting old

Dale retiring

My grandkids thinking I'm the "weird" grandma

My testimony being really tested

Catherine marrying a jerk

Raising Grant in my old age

My list could go on and on but you get the idea.  Having said all this I have to make it clear that even though I do fear all of these situations, and more, my faith is strong and I know that I would get through anyone of these things...as long as there are no snakes or spiders under my covers.
