But God is working in me to steadfastly believe, "Even the bad stuff will eventually turn out amazing."<br /><br />GOD BLESS!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00840994989201507494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-12739291455632480222016-06-26T19:00:28.552-07:002016-06-26T19:00:28.552-07:00Fear and self doubt can be crippling.Fear and self doubt can be crippling.Sandra Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03814573408898140885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-85564486090305235202016-06-25T12:30:07.896-07:002016-06-25T12:30:07.896-07:00This is so rich and so true.

Faith and fear are polar opposites as you said and you cannot walk in faith when you are walking in fear. As God's child, I have to choose faith over fear every day. The secret is to place ourselves in His hands and trust Him to work it out. When I choose faith, when I choose to think on Philippians 4:8, faith chases the fear away. Works every time. Have a great weekend, Nikki.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />SandiSandi@ Rose Chintz Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415214311003251398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4966292221486788658.post-24671016311149159932016-06-25T02:33:36.029-07:002016-06-25T02:33:36.029-07:00I choose faith over fear anyday...well-said...
