In the dark

When I was little I used to really be afraid of the dark.At the end of the day when all the house is quiet and the kids are sleeping and Cory's constant pattern of breathing deeply is all I hear, sometimes I will just lay in the dark to think. I go over my day almost like a redo in my head I hear the conversations I had and the things I did and of course I feel frustrated at the things I didn't do. Why is that? Yet why is the dark comforting to me does that sound scary? I'm at such peace with my thoughts in the dark I can even think more clearly. I was talking with my sister today about fear and she said something that really stuck in my mind she said that fear does not come from Heavenly Father. Sure we all have something we fear or are afraid of but we cant just live in fear nor can we use it as an excuse to do or not to do something. I wasn't just afraid of the dark when I was little no I have been afraid of it for some time but now I find it calming. I have had some of the best of cries in the dark some sad some happy but than that's life, to enjoy each moment...... even in the dark.
