I attended our church’s women’s retreat this weekend on the Jersey shore. I was hoping for some quality sleep but that didn’t happen, partly my fault. Women were asked to label a rock with some aspect of their lives that they wanted to let go of. I was intrigued by how many responded with the word “fear”. Fear was written on so many of the rocks. My rock was labeled “our paths”, but really the underlying root of what I had written was fear. Fear of the unknown, fear of our children’s paths, fear of living in this world, fear of failure, and the list goes on. That concept is something that I have to continually check myself on. Isaiah 41:10 was referenced.
