Chickens, Cats and Elephants

FEAR:
Anxiety, Despair, Distress, Doubt, Scare, Uneasiness, Worry

My personal favorite: Chickenheartedness

I want to know who decided that if you are scared,

it makes you a chicken. Or a cat.

You can just as easily scare an elephant.

My current fear: The unknown.

(Also, raw meat. I don't touch it with my bare hands. Yuck.)

There is no way to prepare for the unknown.

If you see a ball flying directly at your face,

you can put your hands up to block it

or get out of the way to avoid being hit,

or if you are really ambitious, catch it and run with it!

But that's when you see it coming.

See what I mean about the unknown...

How do you protect yourself, dodge, or catch something

you don't see coming?

Well I could just live in fear that at any given moment

I'm going to get hit with something?

OR

I can have faith.

~Gulp~

Give up my super powers and ultimate control over the universe.

FAITH:

Acceptance, Belief, Certainty, Confidence, Hope, Trust

"Faith is to hope for things which are not seen, but which are true.

To have faith is to have confidence in something or someone.

Faith is a principle of action and power."

(Bible Dictionary)

I love the words "Confidence, Action & Power"

I can be confident!

This confidence will lead me into action.

My actions will give me power over the adversary.

"Awake my soul! No longer droop in sin.

Rejoice, O my heart, and give place no more for the enemy of my soul."

2 Nephi 4:28
