My sister fell on the ice and shattered her knee cap. She goes in for surgery today. I am afraid
she may be crippled. Surgery is some serious stuff. I need to pray
and have faith that she is gonna be
okay. If you have any spare prayers laying around PLEASE send them to have Laurie be okay. Do you have fear or faith??? Please let me know! Thanks----Mistyeve

Fear over something like surgery is normal. It's those unfounded fears that seem to creep in that I need to work on. Fear my meal wont be liked by my guests, fear I will lock myself out of the house or car, Fear that somebody wont like me,etc.
When i learned to replace my fear with faith, it made all the difference in the world. Today I know if I get locked out, I can call onstar, so I dont worry. If my guests dont like my meal, they can stop at a restaurant on their way back home. If Folks dont like me for whatever reason I was dreaming up, too bad...their loss. LOL
My buddy RON says fear and faith can't live int he same house at the same time. So when I put my trust in my HP, then things go just like they are supposed to go.
Prayers to Laurie and to her doctors. A broken kneecap does not signal a life time of being crippled. Dont put huge fears in your mind that are such small % chances misty. She will be FINE.
LIN

Good Morning Mistyeve,
There are two acronyms that I like about FEAR :-
Fear = False evidence appearing real.
Fear = Frustration, Ego, Anxiety and Resentment
For me when fear does creep in it is usually one of the ones in the second acronym. Frustration , Ego, Anxiety, or Resentment.
First I have to identify them/it , and find out where they are coming from. Then make adjustments in attitude or action (what is my part in it) and most importantly Pray.
Surrendering to God always allays my fears.
But not all fear is bad. Those creepy crawlies on the back of your neck when you walk down a dark lonely street. Fear can and does heighten your sense of awareness to your surroundings. Fear can motivate you into action. Not a bad thing.
It is only when fear is unjustified and runs amuck that it is a problem.
As in the case of your sister her and your fear is normal and justified, considering that surgery is involved and what her outcome will be.
My deepest prayers are going out for your sister and her speedy recovery.
Love & God Bless
Arlene

Sending lots of healing thoughts your sister's way, Misty. I hope the surgery goes well for her.
I have some of those unrealistic fears that can still grab me. I can have a creative imagination--and I do still have that itty bitty sh***y committee that resides between my ears. Gimme enough time alone to listen to MEMEME and it can come up with some wing-dingers! Good reason to not spend a whole lotta time in my own company, eh?
My latest and greatest? That the girl will be consumed by sharks. LOL Okay, so that's probably not gonna happen and it'll all be just fine. This evening she takes off for training in England. She's a 'legger' in "Global Challenge"--which is a yacht race the wrong way around the world. All those years spent listening to me spewing "carpe diem!" have yielded these results..LOL (that'll learn me...LOL) I'm excited for her--but boy, more than just a tad fearful of international travel evolving into some yacht in the Atlantic Ocean in shark infested waters, going around Cape Horn where hundreds of bodies litter the ocean floor! Okay, okay.....so they're hundreds of years dead--seemingly, when you're 'the mom', that fact brings no comfort!
Faith--yep...that's what I need to be embracing today. G-d didn't avail her the opportunity for nothing and He'll undoubtedly take very good care of her.
Besides, I'm thinking she wouldn't make the BEST shark bait. She's a bit fiesty like her mom.
*sigh*

HI Misty, I pray for your sister on her speedy recovery. Yes, modern science has improved greatly... she will be fine too.  Fear. I seem to get them creeping in my thoughts at times only to have to remind myself that its just something that I am only allowing to happen. And wise man Ron was right that fear and faith don't live in the same house too. I gotta keep that in mind too. Faith always seems to win fear over and I like that thought too.  Have a great day. |

A good chip for me today. I have had a lot of fear attached to my colesteral problem, mainly because of my not asking for the whole picture. It is more a fear of the unknwon. I know my colesterol is high but not how high. I never had a problem before, so I am not aware of what all the side affects are.
So I need to apply my program, make myself aware, find some acceptance and take some action, to bring about the change I need. I have faith in my program, I have faith in God, now I need to regain the faith in myself.
