1. Snakes are my number one fear.
2. Fear of disappointing others, even though I am working on realizing that I cannot please everyone.
3. Bats- I am really afraid of bats ever since I was a little girl and hundreds came out of an eave of a house of a relative we were visiting. It was like a scene from The Birds for real.
4. I mentioned previously that I am afraid of water that I cannot see through... I don't go out far in the ocean and I always wear a life vest if on a boat on a river.
5. I fear I will not be the best parent for my children that I desire to be.
6. I fear that I do not do enough to please God. I try to have a good prayer life and devotion time yet I know I fall short of what I could do.
7. I fear not having enough of.....anything. I guess when you grow up without a whole lot you always live in fear that you won't have "enough" of whatever you need / want.
8. I guess this goes back to my insecurities, but after giving it some thought I think I fear making mistakes. There are not a lot of tangible things that scare me or make me afraid other than the snake/bat thing, but this post made me realize that most of my deep fears are a result of insecurity. At one time I was a very confident person, but I think changing careers late in life and letting myself go as far as my weight have left me feeling less confident than ever. I am working on this....really I am.
