That is a question I get asked a lot. Do I get afraid? Am I afraid?
The answer-Sometimes-but not for reasons you’d think. We’re all human.
Do I get afraid for hospital stays? No. Hospital stays are so routine for me after almost 25 years that it’s like second nature. I go in knowing that this is MY normal. It’s a way to make me take a break to get better. I go in knowing that it’s to make these beautiful lungs healthier again-to in turn live a longer life. Period. I would/will do anything to keep these precious lungs healthy.
Am I afraid? Now that could be a loaded question with so many answers. My main answer is sometimes.
Sometimes I get afraid of maybe not being around as long as I’d like, not hitting all my goals, or achieving all my dreams.
Sometimes I get afraid of not finding the one yet and when I do not having enough time with them.
But fact of the matter is those are things NONE of us can control. Only God.
So after saying all that...am I afraid? No....because I know in my heart that whatever God has planned for me will be what is supposed to happen.
That may sound crazy to some-but it puts me at ease.
I am already the person who worries/sometimes stresses over silly things.
I am NOT perfect by any means. But I have learned that for me-leaving everything up to Gods hands is always the best.
He helps me not be afraid and to trust in him.
Now sometimes that is way easier said than done.
But everyday I remind myself that if I woke up today-I can face whatever is brought my way.
So; do I get afraid of hospital stays? No
Am I afraid? No
lwe’re all human, but we can’t let our fears get in the way and stop us from living the life we dream.
