Fears, Failures, Fantasies

At church this past Sunday (Happy Easter, by the way, to those of you who celebrate), our pastor gave us an assignment. He wants us to share our fears, failures and fantasies with our spouses (for those of us who are married).

Well, I have some fears, failures, and fantasies that I'm going to share with you all here.

Some of them have been mentioned before in previous posts, but some of these may be new, and especially if you've never read my blog, they are definitely new to you. :)

Fears: Some of my fears include something terrible happening to my sweet young son that takes away his innocence. I pray this does not happen and he is allowed to grow and learn for himself without having any traumatic experiences.
Another fear is that I won't be a very good mother, or at least not the mother my son needs me to be.
Another fear is that I will be "fat" forever. :(

Okay, I think that's enough for now. ;)

Failures: some of my failures include not finishing a masters degree. I only have two credits left to finish the degree. I will most likely never finish those two credits. I just don't have the motivation to do it anymore, and my life has turned in a different direction. The degree is obsolete for my life.
Currently, I'm not doing very well in my Abstract algebra class. I'm very afraid of not passing it. For the second time. And I'm not joking. In some instances, I may be one of the smartest people some of my friends know, but I don't feel that way when I'm in this class. I feel like I'm the dummy in the front. Yes, I sit in the front of the class and still haven't grasped as much as I need to from the book OR the professor. :-/

Fantasies: I want to be a dancer. Professionally. I love to dance, and I've got decent rhythm. I know I could be a great background dancer for a Broadway production! I love that stuff, seriously! :D
I want to be a background vocalist for Jill Scott. Or Erykah Badu. Or Faith Evans. Or India Arie. Or Ledisi. Or, heck, anybody that can really sing their face off! I love to sing and I have a YouTube channel devoted to this. It's nothing but me singing. nswr1104 is my channel. Check me out! ;)

All right. I think that I've shared enough today. So...what about you? What are some of your fears, failures, and fantasies? It's always good to share, and sometimes, the path of healing lies in the sharing so you can get free from some of the things that bind you and hold you back from realizing the destiny that is meant for only you.

Take care of yourselves, friends!

Peace.
