Fear

Pastor Kris has been preaching the last few weeks about our "Fear of ...." The first week it was fear of "failure" and this past week it was fear of "losing control." I used ideas from his message about failure when talking with girls on my track team before the Regional meet last week. One of the things that we discussed is that two of the worst feelings that we can have is the fear of failure and regret. We talked about staying positive and letting go of our fears and concentrating on the task at hand. A couple of the girls have no problem discussing religion and God so we talked about the strength and peace that He can provide us in times of stress and turmoil. I think, for most of them, that they understood the meaning behind what we were talking about. Here's a big shout out to Pastor Kris, "THANK YOU!!"
