Five Minute Friday: Afraid



The above song is one of my favorite songs to sing. It really helps me to turn my focus and thoughts on Christ when I am afraid. "How can I Fear with Jesus?"--I am thankful that every moment of everyday that God is with me. There are times I am so scared and nervous and night that I have to turn my focus on God to get some sleep. I am thankful for the passage
 Psalm 56:3 "What time I am afraid I will trust in thee."
 
All I need to do when I am afraid is trust in God. God is always with me and God will always be with me.


Now for some humorous stories for when I was afraid (but yet God was with  me)

****I live in an interesting part of town. A day does not go by when I do not hear sirens....sometimes I might hear the search helicopter. My first year living in a house all by myself was a restless time....then one night I hear a helicopter. Well my curiosity got the better of me and I peek out my door and there was a helicopter flying around with  a light shining it around the are I lived....okay well for a single girl on her own and by herself I was terrified. I go crawling along the floor in hopes that the guy they was looking for wouldn't see my shawdow...well needless to say who did I call---DAD who was eight hours away! He did make me feel better....but I was still a little scared BUT GOD WAS WITH ME.

***Coming to Florida for a job interview where I knew no one was terrifying. I do not do well in new places and new situations. A 8-9 year old girl on the plane reassured me flying was fun and not scary at all


Sadly, I admit I went over time telling me stories...but I am a Kindergarten teacher....therefore a story teller! :)

  2. I was thinking the same thing that Mandie commented. From one former elementary teach to another, fear can make us crawl along some funny places, clinging to security we think might be there. :) Thank you for sharing your stories with us.
