I am fearful every day
– will I have enough money?
– will a tree fall on the house?
– will the pump for the well go bad?
– am I doing the right thing?
but I can’t live in fear
I have to hope and trust
that things will be ok
and go the way they should
and that I will be able to handle
whatever is thrown in front of me
~ HCMorris

hope you have a great day!
