10 Day Challenge: Day 3

Day 3: Eight things I fear

You will find a theme with many of the things that I "fear" which is that I have a very active imagination. Many times I find myself being scared because I come up with "What if" situations that only happen in the movies and once in a million years.

Number Eight: Traveling/Flying
Flying and Traveling are just NOT comfortable to me. I guess you can consider me a homebody. I would much rather be sitting feet up on my couch at home than sitting next to a strange person in an airplane. "What if there is a terrorist attack". "What if the engine fails". "What if I get kidnapped in a strange country and sold into prostitution" (see the movie taken). 

Number Seven: Being Stuck in Small Spaces
Especially an elevator or a car truck..   GET ME OUT OF HEEEERRRREEE!!!

Number Six: Haunted Rides/Scary Movies
Especially realistic scary movies like Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre or Human Centipede.. Hey! It could happen! 

Number Five: Breaking Roller coasters
More What ifs... "What if we got stuck at the top for hours". "What if we got stuck upside down". "what if it derailed" 

Number Four: The Ocean
I think this is more of Fear of the Unknown.. I don't like swimming near things that I can not see and I although I am a strong swimmer, rip tides and waves are scary! 

Number Three: Getting Lost in a Strange place
See Blair Witch Project.. Getting lost in the woods at night... AHH!!

Number Two: Being Murdered/Going missing
I have never really had a fear of dying. I know that God has a plan for us and death is just an ending to time on earth.. BUT with that being said.. after Jman and I were robbed at gun point I kind of developed this fear. I would never want my family to have to go through what many other families go through... searching for weeks or months for their missing daughter or finding their dead daughter.. it is terrible. When we were robbed thats all I could pray about. "Dear Lord please give my family strength and guidance". 

Number One: Premature Loss of Family

Losing one of my family members before they had a "full life" scares me on a more selfish level. "What would I do with out my dad to walk me down the isle", "I need my mom to help me through my first pregnancy/having kids", "How would it feel to be a widow at the age of 25". This fear has helped me to live life to the fullest. To appreciate every day I have with my family and to let go of the things that do not matter. Again I feel really blessed and thankful that I have a great family and I try to pray for those people who have lost family or loved ones "prematurely"

And for the record I hated Day 3 of this challenge.. I feel selfish, sheltered and a boring unadventurous loser.
