NO LONGER A SLAVE TO FEAR

<div style="text-align: justify;"> I'm afraid of fear. I have realised how tightly it holds and paralyzes.</div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> </div> <div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I had just changed into my workout gear and was trying to work out a compound routine in my head for the evening's workout. Of course, I had to look through WhatsApp quickly...respond to all my messages so I could focus on my workout. That was when I saw the messages about the tanker that spilled fuel on the Otedola link bridge, people asking if everyone was safe. Immediately I entered full panic mode...when I'm in panic mode, my breathing sloooooowsssss doooowwwwnnnn, everything seems like it's in slow motion and I become clumsy AF. I start calling my sister (she works around that area) then I remember she was away for work, I end the call.Then I call my Dad, he rides that route every other day and I just need to know that he's ok. He picks and all is well.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OJFV92Z3osw/XCu6rJYtQuI/AAAAAAAAHDo/A6o0RNztLFIOde0vA_1bFo2jSrRFcVXfgCLcBGAs/s1600/ACS_0306.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="924" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-OJFV92Z3osw/XCu6rJYtQuI/AAAAAAAAHDo/A6o0RNztLFIOde0vA_1bFo2jSrRFcVXfgCLcBGAs/s1600/ACS_0306.JPG" /></a></div> <br /> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I sit in my car, watch the videos again and cry. How are people trying to get home and just like that, their lives end? So unfair. After that, getting into my car and driving anywhere was such a scary thing for me. I'd always think, Belinda, what if you get into an accident on your way to work or back? I started staying home more often; it was a lot safer. </div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> I talked to my friend, and turned out, in the wake of that accident, she also started feeling the same way. Fear is such a terrible thing; once you give in to it, it will rule and ruin your life. She talked about how she's had to remind herself that she cannot live in fear because she knows God's plans for her aren't to hide away and not live a full life, and she reminded me of the no longer a slave to fear song...it really helped me at that time.</div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> <a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQCoxdSpg7A/XCu6qg2_c9I/AAAAAAAAHDk/fFpGoaeXpb8JuUZE37bFFJKUYwjCJw2sQCLcBGAs/s1600/ACS_0307.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1497" data-original-width="798" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-ZQCoxdSpg7A/XCu6qg2_c9I/AAAAAAAAHDk/fFpGoaeXpb8JuUZE37bFFJKUYwjCJw2sQCLcBGAs/s1600/ACS_0307.JPG" /></a></div> <div style="text-align: center;"> <i>Dress: @shop_fss (IG) / Shoes: Mango / Earrings: Aldo</i></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> <br /></div> <div style="text-align: justify;"> There will always be things to be afraid of; death of self or a loved one, losing a job, doing something new.
