Today we are doing Three legitimate fears and how they became fears. I had to think a while about this one. I don't really consider myself a fearful person.
One thing popped in my head immediately. My children. I know the plan of salvation and I know that they will be with me after this life is over. I am not even fearful of death per say, (1) I worry that they will go in some terrible way. I would imagine this is every mothers fear.
(2) I get creeped out by bumps in the night. Especially when Jer isn't with me. The first time I noticed it was when I was a teenager babysitting at people's house. I have made Jeremy get up countless times to check things out. Jeremy knows to announce his presence if I think he isn't home because I tend to find something sharp if I am alone and hear something.
Okay, so I don't really have this fear anymore but I thought it was worth a mention (especially since I can't think of anything more). (3) I use to be deathly afraid of Wolves. I had this reoccurring dream where I got attacked by a pack and got munched on. Needless to say it freaked me out.

Ha, I am so with you on #2! And I used to be horribly afraid of wolves too. (And every other kind of fierce animal or natural disaster....)
LOL--I was just getting on to say that Cindy Lynn used to ask us hysterically every night if wolves were going to get into our house. Who knows where that came from!
You know I was watching Beauty and the Beast with Addie the other day, and I was wondering if it stemmed from that movie. Those wolves are vicious looking!
I was just about to say that about Beauty and the Beast! You started watching that movie when you were so little so I wondered if that might be where your wolf fear stemmed? I know what you mean about #1 and #2. I was super bad about #2 when I was pregnant especially. And my irrational fear... deep water. Every time we take our boat out I'm secretly having an anxiety attack, same with swimming in the ocean.
