I let fear get the best of me

I have a huge fear of....Water. I know it sounds crazy but its true. I had two incidences involving water and now as an adult, I fear the water. Yes, I'll get into a pool, lake or even a river but when I can't reach I freak out. But, if you really know me well, this isn't my biggest fear. I don't need to tell you what it is because my close friends/family already know but this fear got the best of me this week! I sat and my desk and couldn't even really work because this fear consumed my every thought! I did a lot of "what if's" in my head, which made my anxiety level, go through the roof. I couldn't wait until 3pm so I could leave and go check on my fear. I cried and pleaded with God on my way home and over and over I had to say that Jesus will take care of my problem. So, I walk into our hotel room and see what I needed to see. The first thing I said was, "Thank you Jesus"! I couldn't help but think that if God takes care of something this big, that all the "little stuff" like getting into a house, will fall into place. God is teaching me a lot lately that most of the time I over look. I am thankful that he humbles me when I need to be humbled! I feel that God has something big in store for my family but especially with me. So, I'm waiting to see His plan unfold and thankful for all He has given me!
