I have always had fear as a big part of my life. unfortunately I was taught fear. this is how my parents were able to control me and my siblings. they used fear. this was a common thing back in the old days to keep kids in line. it stays with you and its not always logical because its always there. as I grew up I over came many fears. however, in my dna there depression and anxiety disorder which is like fear. I developed a phobia because of a bad doctor I had seen for my depression. it only bothers me when im going through depression and I feel so grateful to the LOrd that it isn't always present. in my life I have had to overcome many obstacles and trials and one of my trials was being so ill I thought I was going to die. I lay in bed praying and I fell asleep and saw myself being busy and such great joy came over me. I thought that the business was me in the spirit world doing things instead of just hanging around there. I loved that idea and I lost the fear of death. then much later I realized that the Lord was telling me I wasn't going to die and be in the spirit world and that I was going to be here on the earth being that busy. that business was me doing indexing on many things. either doing grave indexing or death records. I realized at that point that I was no longer afraid to die because I believed what my Father in heaven told me in the scriptures. I have yet to overcome speaking before a large audience but one time I walked up and bore my testimony and didn't even remember that I was afraid to do it and when I got back to my seat I marveled at the fact that I had done so.

As I sit with my newborn daughter this morning after bringing her home from the hospital last night, I felt prompted to pick up my phone and see what the article was on Meridian. With all the fears of being a mother for the first time, away from the professionals at the hospital.....it was no accident I read this now, at this moment. Thank you for including this article this specific morning.

Come to the edge. I can't. I'm afraid. Come to the edge. I can't. I'll fall. Come to the edge. And so he came. And the master pushed him, And he flew. With apologies to Guillaume Apollinaire for changing some of his words.
