Fears=Anxiety

3 fears to me means the 3 things that make me most anxious

Play grounds. 
I hate them and very rarely do I go to one with the kids without Jeremy
For any of you that know my children know that my kids are very very VERY clumsy
They are also very daring and have no fear.
With the older two I can pretty much just not watch and then I am all good.  Let them play but not really pay attention or even look at what they are doing a whole lot.....bad parenting maybe, but the alternative is helicopter parenting.....I don't know which is worse so I will stick to not looking. 

Driving beside a semi truck.
In 1999 coming home for Christmas break I was getting a ride from my friend and we hit black glare ice and slide onto the highway.....just happens to be that there was a semi driving down the highway.
The front of the semi drove over the front of the Chrysler Daytona and then spun us out and then the last tires of the trailer of the semi drove over the back of the car. 
All that was left was where we were sitting....it was a miracle from God. 
But since then driving beside them is a fear....I can see the wheels.

I have a strong fear of my kids not loving God. 
God provides all that I need and all that they need.
I fear that they will choose to turn their back on God. 
I depend on God to help me teach them and guide them in the best possible way I can but it is still a very real fear of mine. 







On a different not Ronan has an appointment on the 23rd so I will update on him then.
