In the fall of 2009, I was battling
cancer (and undergoing chemotherapy). The thought of possibly not being around
for my family horrified me. (I was 46, my wife was 44, and my daughter was 13)
With the winter quickly approaching, I made a foolish financial decision. On
credit, our family purchased what I will give the fictitious name “The Snow
Blaster 3000” snow blower.
It is the newest and greatest in snow
removal. Many years later, it’s extremely big and bulky, hard to start, difficult
to move out of the storage shed, and is only used when the snow is too hard to
remove manually with a snow shovel. Currently, we have no idea where the key is
to the storage shed to get it out in the bad weather we are now having in
February 2015.
Have you ever made a choice out of your
fear? (Your common sense took a back seat.) How did that work out for you? In
the end, did you regret the results you got? I John 4:18 (MSG) states, “There
is no room in love for fear. Well-formed love banishes fear…” The choice is
yours. Help is available out there if you want it. It might take some research
to find it. It is out there. Enjoy God’s blessings as you work out of a
foundation of love. Fear just won’t make the grade any more.
