Today we are going to talk about making
babies. But don’t worry, we aren’t going
there. We are going to talk about the
mysteries of the gene pool; take two people’s genes, mix ‘em up and let’s see
what’s gonna’ pop out! Boy or girl,
strong willed, passive, fearful, shy, happy go lucky, outgoing. It’s a kinder surprise!
My husband and I would consider ourselves
to be “give it a go” kind of people. But
thanks to the mysteries of the gene pool and God’s sovereignty we have been
blessed with a girl who is very cautious and fearful. Whew! It’s
a challenge! Every time she learns a new
skill we go through the same phases: complete and utter terror, followed by
giving up at the smallest disappointment, followed by being told to try again,
followed by crying and drama, and repeat; until slowly, very slowly she learns
how to do it. We haven’t managed to
conquer bike riding yet though. Perhaps
when she’s 23 we’ll try it again…



The best way to overcome our fear is not to
focus inwardly and try and squelch it with ‘Anthony Robbins power of positive
thinking, but to listen again and again to the good news which comes from outside
ourselves. Christian; you do not need to
fear choking because your esophagus flap closes your windpipe automatically
when you swallow. And you do not need to
fear God’s anger at you because Jesus has died for you, taking his Father’s anger
upon himself and setting you free from the law’s power to condemn you.
