rI've gotten to the point where not a whole lot scares me anymore. Things on tv that would have given me nightmares for weeks when I was a little kid I could now probably laugh at. Roller-Coasters were the worst though, my dad made me ride one on a vacation once when I was about 13 and I remember bawling as if I was going to die, and my little brother Jakob maybe at age 7 at the time was in my mom’s arms crying. and i was wondering why is he crying . Then i look back at him and i hear him say "mom why can't I ride" The bible says to fear the Lord in Deuteronomy 6:13
You must fear the Lord your God and serve him. When you take an oath, you must use only his name.
I don’t think that it is a terror kind of fear but an acknowledgment of his might control and power. It is also one of the seven gifts of the holy spirit in Isaiah 11: 2-3 A respect thing but more often the Bible tells us, Do not Fear, infact it says do not fear 365 times. Now ive also heard that it takes 21 days to make something a habit or to break a habit. That’s one do not fear for every day of the year yet we are still afraid.
1 Peter 3:14
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. "Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened."
Isaiah 54:4
"Do not be afraid; you will not suffer shame. Do not fear disgrace; you will not be humiliated. You will forget the shame of your youth and remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
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.

Like the post. It took me a long time to figure out "Do not Fear and Do not worry", When we have God with us there is nothing to fear in life. It is an awesome feeling. You are very wise, keep it up!

I was a little worried when you stopped posting for nearly a month. Glad to see you pick it back up!
You mentioned your brother in this one...how many siblings are there? It would be interesting to see an "Evans family photo"!!
