Letting go of my fear

I was feeling quite low today, thinking about how my family thinks I am crazy and wondering if it was worth it to leave. But then I remembered what it was like living in constant fear that I was not going to make it to heaven. Fear that I did not have the Spirit with me, fear that I didn't interpret a prompting correctly, fear that I had not taught my children the right things, fear that the Second Coming would happen and I would be burned, because I hadn't been to the temple in two whole months. Fear that I wasn't praying TWICE a day with my spouse, because the apostles said once was not enough to make it, and we weren't even consistently praying once. And on and on. Eeks. I realized I will go through the shunning, because letting go of the fear has allowed me to love being alive. I only wish there was a way to share that with my family.
