Facing My Fears

Read: Psalm 138

In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul. —Psalm 138:3

Bible In One Year: Joshua 13-15; Luke 1:57-80


After Bill and I married, I became overly dependent on him, rather than depending on God for my security and strength. Feeling very inadequate and fearful, secretly I worried, "What if one day I don't have Bill anymore?"

When our missionary work took Bill from home for weeks at a time, I began to depend on myself instead of Bill. Feeling even more inadequate, I reduced the risks of life whenever possible and lived within a cocoon of anxiety, even being afraid to go out in public.

Finally, at rock bottom, I followed David's example in Psalm 138:3. He said, "In the day when I cried out, You answered me, and made me bold with strength in my soul." I too cried out and God answered me. His answer gave me the understanding and strength to crack open the cocoon of fear and begin spreading my wings in dependence on God. Slowly but surely He made me a bold servant at Bill's side.

Years later, when Bill died, I recognized how compassionately God had dealt with my earlier fear: "What if one day I don't have Bill anymore?" Instead of removing my fear, God gave me the strength and ability to face it. And He will enable you as you depend on Him. —Joanie Yoder

I know not, but God knows;
Oh, blessed rest from fear!
All my unfolding days
To Him are plain and clear. —Flint

To conquer your fears, surrender them to the Lord.

It is indeed a Good Morning !!
If I might make a small contribution, I arranged for a
rather sumptuous brunch buffet for the Finest Family & Guests:

Brunch Menu

*Chilled Orange, Apple and Grapefruit Juice *Sliced Seasonal Fruit and Fresh Fruit Salad
*Natural Yogurt and 2% Cottage Cheese *Granola and Cereals
*Tomato Salad with Red Onion Vinaigrette
*Mixed Fresh Garden Greens with Assorted Dressings
*Apples and Oranges *Potato Salad
*Buttermilk Pancakes and Belgian Waffles with Syrup
*Fresh Scrambled Eggs *Assorted cold cuts w/garnishes
*Bacon and Link Sausages *Home Fried Potatoes *Fresh Croissants
*Assorted Danish Pastries and Breakfast Muffins *Variety of Breads
*Butter and Preserves *Apple Crumble with Whipped Cream
*Cream Cheesecake with Fruit Sauce
*Fresh Brewed Regular and Decaffeinated Coffee
*Regular and Herbal Tea

(The only requirement is you wash your own dishes.
An exception for that will be made for our dear Thin Man,
lest he burn too many calories
from the exertion . . .)

Oh, wow! I'll have one of everything and two of maybe some. :)

There you go again, pampering and spoiling the skinny guy. He should ask to do ALL the dishes - might put some muscle on those bones. :)

Good morning, dutchess! Yep - almost two years ago you were trying to recover from a bad case of poison oak, and took your mind off it by joining the Finest Family. :)

Well, who do you 'think' left it - you said 'he' didn't have to wash his dishes. :)
