Day 2/30: Three Fears

Describe 3 legitimate fears you have and explain how they became fears.

1. Fear of failure: I've let myself and others down so many times in the past that failure scares me. I feel like if I'm not constantly improving and doing good, I'm not meeting people's expectations. I need to learn to let go of that. After all, it's not people I need approval from, I just need God's approval and He's already given that. 
2. Snakes. When I was a child we went camping with my grandparents a lot. Our family vacations were usually road tripping and camping. One time we were camped near a creek. My sister and cousin and I were playing by the creek and tossing sticks in. I went to grab a stick and my hand was inches from it when it slithered away. I have been terrified of snakes ever since. 
3. Losing my child. I think every decent parent has this fear. I don't just mean fear of him dying, I mean losing him in public, kidnapping, etc. All of it, terrifies me. I know that God is looking out for Trevor though.
