About Fear

Just peeking out of my shell.  Hi.  I have some thoughts on fear.  And panic attacks. And health.  

I won't pretend I know it all.  I don't.  I think we all know fears and we all have out own vice or coping skill.  Here are mine. 

If all you have is a fear then that's all you have.  If there's no medical cause, or firm proof that this thing is real then all it is, is fear.
  If your fears take you to the point of panic attacks,  bad health, staying in, and  darkness they're not from God.
  Sometimes the thing you fear is real.  Those are the times you bring them to your ultimate Helper and choose.  You choose to do the moment and wait. Or you choose to keep putting it into His hands by tangible means, like praying, or going to the Psalms and praying them, or singing hymns while you cry, or  going out and finding someone to help and love on. 

About the fears that aren't from God.    Here's what I know.  The Bible says that God has not given us the spirit of fear.  I think that's what has helped me the most.  Just reminding myself that I don't have to fall to this lie......it's not from God.  I don't have to surrender to this fear.   I surrender to God.  Amd He gives me the spirit of power and a sound mind. 

I needed to write this out because so many in my life are struggling and life is difficult.  I want you to know it's okay and remind you to choose Joy.  God bless.

Happy Birthday Keagan

Keagan turned three while we were in Idaho. So we made a cake and celebrated with the Skrivseth cousins this year. He was enthralled watching me make the cake. Had to have his little hand on that hat! gazing in adoration at it. Just about ready to blow those candles. He kept telling me that we couldn't sing Happy Birthday though. He's easily embarrassed! Silly guy! I rather like my little three year.

Forgiveness

 Forgiveness  Forgiveness has bones It has a brain It uses logic  And common sense  Forgiveness goes about Finding a common ground. It shows up in common places. It happens unsuspected. Forgiveness allows one to Name the thing that happened. Forgiveness gives one a way To see it for what it was. Forgiveness provides for the  Empty spaces in conversation  And allows one to listen  And grieve outside of one’s own experience. Forgiveness walks into a situation  And remembers. But walks with peace And knows calmness. Forgiveness has an earpiece  On the heart  And a microphone  At his mouth Saying the words that Forgiveness has given him. Forgiveness doesn’t walk with fear. Forgiveness looks alone. But He’s always always  Hand in hand with gentleness and kindness. Forgiveness can stand alone though. It doesn’t melt away or dissipate  With time. Forgiveness is that little happy wren  On your shoulder  Forgiveness sings...

Let me tell you how God answers prayer

      Did I ever write on here that I am teaching school at our little church school?  I absolutely love it and find that it's been a neat way to feel useful and invest in our bubble.  But I am requiring my kids to tell stories and write them and read them.  And right now they are in a four week story writing assignment and I began to wonder what I thought I was doing requiring something of them that I am not really proficient at nor am I very knowledgable about.       So for my story to write  let me tell you a little bit about how God answers prayer.  Sometime I feel like I should write Jeanie's whole story.  But not this time.             Jeanie's been having focal seizures.  We don't know when they started.  All we know is that we were advised to go get her growing pain/ leg cramps looked into and it started the beginning of many tests of which we still aren't done with....
