SPC: Fears
Most of the time I am thankful for the wonderful life that I live--I have a beautiful supportive family, a fabulous soul-mate of a husband and a job/career that I love. But sometimes I am (very selfishly) paralyzed with fear that this good life cannot last and that at some point I will have to pay for it all with a severe tragedy...My life has never been perfect and we have had various struggles like anyone else, but I convince myself that I should feel guilty that my life hasn't been full of great suffering instead of being thankful for what I have...

WG-Thanks for sharing your heart. I often have the exact same fears, especially now since I am having a baby. I always wonder when it will be my turn for saddness...however, I know that God does not want me or you to live in fear. He knows the plans that he has for us. When I have these fears, I try to remind myself that God has not failed in caring for me and will never do so.
I really do appreciate reading your post...It assures me that I am not alone in my anxious thoughts and neither are you.
Sending love to Boston from Branson! Dawn
I can definitely relate, too. I think I'm going to have to "pay the piper" somehow, or that when difficult things happen, I wonder if God is punishing me because I did this, or because I did that.
I'm glad God doesn't really work this way. He's already punished Jesus for my sin!
Thank you, Dixie Chick! Thank you for your encouragement. And Congratulations on your pregnancy. How exciting!
I think one thing I'm trying to do is GIVE more....and not focus on myself in an unhealthy way.
And always be thankful...
wow
you are brave being so *real*
thanks.
i do have seasons of feeling more anxious, like when i'm pregs (have had four miscarriages)..
but we've stopped having kiddos now (i think)
i wish you sunshiney days and sparkly nights, and peace xx
