Day 10: Something You're Afraid Of
-I am afraid of being alone. Going through life alone. Dying alone. From my broken heart comes the fear that I will never be good enough to spend the rest of my life with someone.-
-Swimming in the Ocean or in a Lake-
-Being a failure-
-Not being able to have children-
-Trusting others and having an open heart-

i too am terrified of not being able to have kids! remember philippians 4:6-7 and hopefully that will take away your burdens : )
Ahh, I know this isn't something to jump up and down about, but my biggest fear is of being alone too! I mean, I'm not scared of staying home alone or going to the coffee shop alone. I'm scared of being really alone--like, no one to love or be loved by kind of alone.
What part of the west coast are you going to!? I'm from California, so if you need any tips on local favorites, just let me know! :]
Fear stinks!!!! I think we all have or have had many of those same fears. Just know that you have someone who cares way out in AZ ;)
those are def some legit fears! thanks for sharing your honesty - i think we can all relate.
this post reminded me of that one verse: for God has not given us a spirit of fear or timidity but of power, love, self-control.
happy wednesday, friend. :)
You are not alone in any of these fears. God will provide and he'll always be with you!
I think all of us women fear being alone and not having kids. Fears are so real. Take those thoughts captive and hold on to the promises of God:
Isaiah 58:11
And the Lord will continually guide you and satisfy your desire in scorched places, and give strength to your bones, and you will be a watered garden and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
I tagged you on my blog!
Fear is awful, but I love that everyone has been so open and honest about their fears. It's encouraging to know that other people feel the same way as I do in their vulnerabilities.
Sadly, the children one is on my list too. Plus a few others ;-)
Happy Wednesday Dear!! xo
You have the sweetest blog! I'm a new follower, hopping over from Ty's Rants and Raves :) I think as young women we all have similar fears - i know I'm definitely afraid of failure in general - failing anything! I put my heart and soul into something as simple as washing the dishes sometimes... if i broke one, i would cry. haha :)
Funny thing about swimming in the ocean - I didn't try it until I was 21, the undertow caught me, and i was washed ashore like a dead fish, my bikini top out in the ocean somewhere! I've never tried it again since!
I think that every woman has the fear of not being able to have children. I know that I do...we must all just trust in the Lord
Fear is such a real thing. I know we aren't supposed to have fear, but it's hard. It's a matter of trusting that God holds us, and our desires, in the palm of His hand and that He will make a way and give us those desires.
I too fear of being lonely and never having children. I know God has a plan for us though!
I have a crazy fear of failure, too! Eats at me daily....just found your blog thru some others...look forward to following :)
Hi beautiful!
You have overcome my fear: you're so brave to pour your heart and thoughts out on your blog! :)
Hope you have a great trip! Can't wait to hang out when you get back!
Saw this verse this morning and thought of you :)
"But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength." Isaiah 40:31
I can relate with literally every single one of those. not even kidding. I'm glad that with Jesus we don't have to fear. Not if I can just remember to ask him to take away those fears.
