I am afeared of sharks. As I mentioned before, ever since I watched Jaws when I was a puppy I have been afraid of sharks and going in the water. My dad LOVED to go fishing and I would often go with him on his boat but I didn't want him to get too far from land and I would ALWAYS have a life jacket on.
I am afeared of drowning. This coupled with sharks are big fears for me. I keep trying to convince myself that I could go on a cruise but have yet to try it. It's safe, it's safe they tell me and look what just happened a couple of months ago. Uh huh....safe?...not.
My biggest fear though is to lose my best friend. I can't imagine life without him. I could not survive without him. At one time when we had one of the grand kids with us she overheard him say after we have been talking about not "leaving" each other... "When we are in our 90's we will die hitting a brick wall while we are driving a Harley naked at 100
miles an hour." That was fun trying to explain to her mother what we said. She just heard driving a Harley naked.I do not fear dying but I do fear the process. I fear that I will not have lived my life in accordance to the Savior and be able to recognize him and be accepted. I know I don't have to be perfect and I try to remind myself each day to do better and to love unconditionally. Speak kinder and love deeper.
I am SO thankful for my testimony of a FOREVER Family. For the knowledge that our Savior lives and loves us. For the Plan of Salvation. For the Atonement that allows me to repent and be forgiven and try to do better. I am thankful for the scriptures and our Prophet that gives us guidance and direction. I am thankful for my family and I pray that we can all do those things that will assure us a Forever Family.

I am also afraid of losing my best friend. I try to make every day with my fiance special. Also, sharks are so scary. The whole ocean really creeps me out...
Those are all valid fears.
The only thing I can say is where there is faith, there can be no fear. (I'm working on more faith and less fear...)

I have this rather silly fear of drowning due to my car falling into deep water -- as I explain in my Blog Challenge post this is pretty illogical but there you go, no one says fears are logical right?! :-)
Gosh....my "afeard" list could get a little lengthy. It seems the older I get the more fearful I become.
I could have come pretty dang close to loosing "my best friend" last saturday due to an accident (it was on my facebook....and I'll post about it later)
I am terribly frightened of being in another car accident !!!!! (I was in a head on when 17 and it haunts me stiill)
I am afraid of BEARS...so what the heck am I doing in bear country I ask you.
I am afraid of dying too...I mean, what if there is no diet coke and football. That would suck.
You are going to make me afraid of the toilets now. EEEk!!!
Snakes are one of my biggest fears as far as animals go.
Then... I have:
The Freeway ( and being in between semi's. ) -- I swear that's how I am going to die.
Losing my children.
Being in a care center when I am old.
Losing more of my family to early death.
Being buried alive... and drowning.
All of my biggest fears.
