Today’s blogging challenge that myself, and some other blogging friends are participating in is to describe 3 of our legitimate fears. This is a really personal challenge today, but no-one said it would be easy.

My ultimate, number one fear is not being a good enough person to get into heaven. While I know some of you do not believe in God, and that is your perogative, but I do. Living on earth is a lovely thing, and I am very appreciative for the blessings that God had put into my life, but I am also human, and with that comes faults. I try to be an over all nice, compassionate person, but that does not always come across. I really need to improve myself to be as close to God’s image as I can….boy is that tough!! I could go on, and on, but you get the gist.

Another Fear I have is that I am not being the best parent that I could be. I love all my kids, but I often find myself losing patience, or reprimanding them too much. I am just so scared that I may be doing something wrong.

The last legitimate fear that I have is that my kids will try drugs when they are older. Both my husband, and myself are totally straight edge people. We have never touched any illegal substance, and have no plans to do so. Unfortunately I do have relatives that suffer from drug addiction. They were raised in an ethical, drug-free home where they never seen a drug other than Tylenol…however theys strayed. It scares me when I think of my own kids, and look into their innocent faces. Peer pressure, and moments of weakness can change one’s life in an instance so I really hope my husband, and I can be the best role models for our children (with the knowledge God instills in us I hope we do our best).

I hope you enjoyed reading today’s challenge because it took a lot out of me to actually type it out. Please feel free to share your legitimate fears.
