Fear becomes very real at age 3! I had forgotten!
Reagan is now very afraid of thunderstorms, mostly lightning!
We were stranded recently, at dark on a county highway, in a lightning storm...no rain, just LOTS of lightning! She was so scared that night, in spite of much prayer aloud by each of us! Ever since then, her fear of lightning is discussed often! And we have had bad weather for several days lately!
Before you think I am cruel for snapping this shot instead of holding her and loving her through her fear, I had already zoomed in for a precious smiley photo with her green eyes glowing against the dark cloud backdrop, when suddenly a bolt of lightning struck and this is what I got instead! Since it showed her fear, I thought I would share so I can remember her childhood fears when she is older!
Immediately after the photo, we went inside quickly and lots of lovin' went on!
We are teaching her that a spirit of fear does not come from God, and praying her through these days of young! But, in the meantime, bless her bones!!!

Sweet little Reagan! Logan has taken great notice in all of the lightening storms lately and he talks about lightening a lot now. I'm not sure if he is really afraid of it or just concerned/curious about it. I hope she outgrows this fear soon!
