Fear Monster

Sometimes this creepy little monster called FEAR tip-toes it's way into my life, takes it's nasty little fingers and crawls up my back until its slimy little buttox is sitting smack dab on my shoulder.

I work in an industry where I see EVERYTHING. Often the kiddos have all sorts of problems. As we rapidly approach 18 weeks and our next sonogram I feel FEAR creeping up on me. I think most people are just excited to hear if they are having a boy or a girl... but not me, I am afraid. Afraid of there not being 4 chambers of the heart, 2 functioning kidneys, intact spine and brain, correct sex organs, full gastric organs that are INSIDE the body. Afraid my uterus will still be mis-shaped making pre-term labor likely. Then my mind wanders into those things. Lung development, eyesight, brain function....

HERE IS WHAT JESUS SAYS IN HIS WORD.

1 John 4

¹⁶ And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. ¹⁷ This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. ¹⁸ There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.

I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. JESUS HAS ALWAYS MET ME AT MY NEEDS. HE WILL CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME
