So Long, Insecurity {let the transparency and transformation begin}

So Long, Insecurity {let the transparency and transformation begin} 02/18/2010

I'm reading this new book and sharing the journey, be forewarned.

SonShines, I need me some Jesus.

Turns out I'm too busy feeling insecure to truly feel the presence of the One True God. Every attempt to live in my purpose and in His light seems to highlight my every flaw. Like the groundhog that sees his shadow, I see my inadequacy and head back into my hole for safety. My insecurities have become a security blanket of sorts and that just won't stand!

I'm ready to face what lurks in the shadows and call out each falsehood as I step into my God-given role as daughter to the King, and bringing each bit out into the open is the best way for me to remain accountable to the Spirit's desires to cure me of my comfortable self-loathing disease. Instead of hiding from the issues and hiding the fact that I have issues, I'm going to get real--with my God, with myself, and with each of you reading.

I'd like to ask you to take what I share here as personal reflection, not as judgment over anyone else struggling with similar insecurities. Know that any sin revealed is done so in hopes of revealing the saving grace of the Living God and to let anyone out there who feels alone in their iniquity know that nothing could be further from His Truth!

I won't pretend I have any answers and I won't dare to be perfect. I just need to be real and for me, nothing helps me live honestly like living out loud with you, dear sisters! If I don't bring my struggles out in the open, they take up residence and resonate in all areas of my life. I just thought I'd give you fair warning that Thursdays will be about me and my nasty way of hating myself too much to live in the love of the Lord. Oh, I'll start by talking about little ol' me, but don't worry, God will have the lasting Word!

Brave.

I don't know very many of us that would do this. I mean putting your insecurities out there scares the socks off of me. Of course that is just my insecurities talking :)

Go for it Sister!

Sweet friend, you cheering me on is such a comfort to this scaredy soul! I'm a wreck of fear and relief right now. I feel narcissistic more than brave. That's my insecurity speaking. Brave is when you're scared and do it anyway...and you do that in all sorts of ways, sister! I love you!
