The scarey familiar

So this week i am on vacation. I didn't go anywhere exotic, Tish and I simply drove up to Springfield, Illinois to see my family. My sister drove in from KC and we are all just chillin, watching movies, eating some food, shopping, and more chilling. The weather here is crazy amazing this week. I love fall.

Last night though everyone had gone to bed except for Tish and I. We were watching a little TV, actually a show about the "spookiest destinations." I fell asleep, but Tish stayed up watching it. A little while later we got up, I went in to bed and i crawled in and was back asleep in no time. Tish was getting ready for bed. All of a sudden i guess i felt someone in the room and i barely opened my eyes to see this person standing above me. It must of scared me like crazy because i jumped up, swung the sheets off of me, and was ready to fight! just about that time i realized that it was tish, who was now on the floor rolling around in laughter at how i jumped! wow.

But this made me wonder why i'm so scared of the familiar sometimes. For almost 3 years now i've slept in the same bed as Tish, but for some reason, last night she scared me. For almost 14 years now i've followed Christ, and yet for some reason sometimes he still asks me to do things that scare me. It's not his asking that should change, but my response. I know he's not out to get me. he isn't against me. He's not leaving me on my own. I KNOW he is faithful and trustworthy, but i still jump in fear of the situation.

What is God doing in your life that is scaring you right now? how will you respond?
