Growth From Insecurity
So...my biggest struggle in life is insecurity! There, I put that out there. I don't always seem like that kind of person. I at times appear very confident, loud, funny, and that I have it all together! But...deep inside somewhere has always been the struggle of insecurity. I know that God did not create me this way and He longs for me to really live in the strength and security he created for me to live out. I did some really good work on this on Tuesday night with some Wise Women and it was very freeing. I am so glad I did it. I do know in my head that God loves me and he "fearfully and wonderfully made me" but it is living that out that is the difficult part. I have made some big strides this week and I do feel stronger and I feel that insecurity slipping away. I know this is a journey and I may relapse at times but I want to get stronger, I want to have more good days than bad days and more than anything, I want my daughters to see before them a woman who lives out of a secure and loved place!

Jamie,
I'm so glad you're going to women's group and working on these things. What a difficult, but exciting, journey and I wish I could be there on Tuesday nights! Being in women's groups for many years, they're a place for transformation, and to be loved and feel safe. Tell all of the girls I said "hi"!
