Fear

I was at my daughter's golf match on Monday. I found myself very fearful and I became really scared. They only had 2 carts for every hole and I found myself without one. The fear was creeping in andit was breaking my heart. My daughter was already feeling bad because of food poisoning and she could see and hear the distress in my eyes and my voice. I knew in my heart that I couldn't walk 18 hilly holes at the golf course. I have a hard enough time walking one time around Broadway at the Beach. I felt so stricken and they wouldn't give me a cart and I wanted to scream at them but of course I walked away trying to figure out what to do next. My determination was kicking in but the fear of knowing that it would put me out of commission for a week or two. My husband would be strangling me for even considering it. I thought maybe I could cart hop but that too was a stupid idea. I never had fear hold me back like it did that day. I have always been one to push on and endure the consequences at the end of the day. I was stricken with fear but I felt like the lady next to me felt like I was over reacting. My friend thank goodness understood because she has rheumotoid. The opposite of faith is fear. Lord, please forgive me for my lack faith. God had provided a ride for me for the whole day and following my child all day long. How I allowed it to consume me and I really didn't like how it made me feel. My friend gave me a purse for my birthday and guess what it has on it. Psalm 37:4 Delighht yourself in the Lord, and He will give you the desires of your heart. How poetic. Lord may you remove the times when fear is trying to take over especially in my everyday and the busy schedule which I find myself in. roni
