I feel like I've felt some of all of it! It is a choice to let fear in and let it rule. My husband once told me that it's okay to have a feeling, even if it's bad. But to not stay there too long. That's when you give Satan a foothold and he will use it against you. That really made sense to me. Thank you for sharing my stomach did a little flip-flop when I was reading because I've been there!Simply Complicatedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08062082557290936941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955773427777033919.post-14079491905566842802010-05-05T20:49:56.436-07:002010-05-05T20:49:56.436-07:00Cop Mama: I've been praying for you and yours....Cop Mama: I've been praying for you and yours.

I don't know why. Maybe I am just a cold cold woman :o)<br /><br />Even after he was in a shooting this year (which really shook me up) I have never had fears about him being at work. I'd like to write it off as great faith, but I know better than that. I guess I have just been blessed with peace. I am so proud of what he does and I try to keep that in the front of my mind.Jenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00074541529484344348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955773427777033919.post-30407671642805361392010-05-05T10:07:07.014-07:002010-05-05T10:07:07.014-07:00This was such an honest and heartfelt post. After ...This was such an honest and heartfelt post. After the week we have had here, it's hard to know what to say. I guess just that you can't live in that place, you have to acknowledge those feelings, but then let them go. If you find yourself dwelling on the "what ifs", find something else to distract yourself with. <br /><br />I know, when both my boys were just infants, I was constantly thinking of what if they stopped breathing, what if we get into a car accident, ect. I finally had to force myself to quit thinking that way.<br /><br />I try to just trust God and when I feel anxious, I send up a prayer for comfort and peace. Hope that helps.CMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697762495151569561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955773427777033919.post-55916914319729156412010-05-04T08:51:15.357-07:002010-05-04T08:51:15.357-07:00Thanks Olliemom!

You're amazing.<br />Sister Copinherhair: I've spent a lot of time being afraid of losing what I've got that I'm sure I've missed being able to enjoy it. It's so easy to let fear get the best of me. I feel thankful that I at least know enough to take a step back, realize what I'm doing, and adjust it. It's so much better to just enjoy it all!Genesishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533744882173635891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955773427777033919.post-24259547264620841592010-05-03T11:55:42.529-07:002010-05-03T11:55:42.529-07:00I won't criticize you for feeling that way. I...I won't criticize you for feeling that way. I've been there too. However, it wasn't with Indubitably. It was with my ex husband. A stupid psychic long ago told me that I'd get married one day and for "whatever reason" he just wouldn't be around much. I took that to mean that he would die. I would cry, much like you did, just if he went out with his buddies at night. I was so afraid that I would lose him.<br /><br />Then there came the point when I thought, "God, why DIDN'T you take him? My life would have been so much easier." I don't think that anymore because now we get along just fine.<br /><br />My point is...DON'T have that fear. Feel confident that he is trained very well and will come home to you after every shift. And then, like you said, just be thankful. Don't waste wonderful precious minutes being afraid. Use them to enjoy what you have.Sister Copinherhairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896140845912858618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6955773427777033919.post-38295864023041919152010-05-03T10:01:14.329-07:002010-05-03T10:01:14.329-07:00Awesome post!
