Eila is at the point now where she has some little fears. She is afraid of thunder and lightning. She is afraid of walking over bridges or manhole covers where you can see down. She is afraid of bugs that might bite. She is afraid of being alone or even more so of her friends not being with her wherever she goes (apparently, she is an extrovert.) She is afraid of the basement and the possible spiders she might find.

In an effort to continue living happily despite her fears, Eila is coping well. She asks for someone to stay with her during storms. She holds a hand while walking over bridges. She reads books and asks lots of questions about bugs and what types might bite or not. She makes friends everywhere she goes and at least has Josiah if there are no other friends around. She turns on the light to shoo away any spiders in the basement. Each fear has some practical help, but we've also been working on memorizing Is. 43:5 "Do not be afraid, for I am with you." The only problem is that while she knows the verse, she can't see God...
