Fear

After three weekends away (Napa, Santa Barbara, and Orange County), it felt so nice to be home and back at church. Today's sermon was on Exodus 14:13.

Moses answered the people, "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again.

As the Israelites questioned Moses's guidance, they expected the worst. Pastor Steve wants us to face our worst fears and accept that God is present and He will protect us. At the end of the sermon Pastor Steve asked us to reflect on our biggest fears in life, and for me right now - my fear is never being able to bear my own child.

As I sat there in church, squeezing Danny's arm, I know that some day we will become parents. 

I will keep faith and hope.

Isaiah 41:10

So do not fear, for I am with you;

    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you and help you;

    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
