I am phobic about snakes - ALL snakes. I live in the country. I stay inside when the snakes are out. However, over the years I have learned to leave the house. I am still afraid, but GOD has been so wonderful to bless me with children that will kill and protect me from any snake. I was just thinking about that because HE has not taken away my fear - which I've prayed for HIM to do so many years. Instead, HE provided these children that will walk alongside me (literally, on either side) and watch for and protect me from the snakes. HE did answer my prayer, just in a different way than I expected. So, in reality, my fear has turned into a blessing because I always have company when I go on a walk!!! Also, I conquered my fear of paint and painted our wall by the fireplace this absolutely gorgeous deep rust color!! I am so glad I got over that fear because I LOVE the color so much better than white!! Thanks for posting the quote and your thoughts. Always....they are an encouragement to me!!Prairie Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14480553702721666594noreply@blogger.com
