Still standing.

Beautiful you.

Beauty is what exactly ? The way we see ourselves ? They way others see us ? In the previous chapter I read in So Long Insecurity, Beth talks about how we as woman, also your girls can easily be warped into thinking that the air brushed models on the covers of magazines, the Victoria Secret models walking the runway , define beauty. I cant tell you or begin to think of how this has been a personal struggle for me. To pick apart every part of who I am , what I look like, what I want to look like and so much more. In all honesty, It saddens my heart to think of all the ways I have allowed the media to effect my confidence and even more so to know how many of you are along with me. All the lies I told myself about my value and my worth for so long. It breaks my heart thinking about how easily media and society can corrupt the minds of teenage girls and enable their confidence in themselves to dwindle. .......I want to get past this. I do know that the God I love and serve loves me.

I'm a child of God. He created me in His image, and he believes everything is good!

Can we all just grasp that for a second ?

YOU are a child of God. He created you in His image, and he believes EVERYTHING is good.

Ladies ,

We can do this. We can fight this battle. We are BEAUTIFUL.... just the way we are.

There could never be a more beautiful you.

Beautiful, Beautiful

There is something about the lyrics...
I have come undone

But I have just begun
Changing by Your grace

Can we say an AMAZING reality ? That when we have come undone, when we have made a mess of ourselves, when things arent the way we have planned them to be, when we have become something we arent proud of, He can chage us. His love, grace, gentleness,and mercy can change us.


Today God has shown me that reality, that He can change where I am. That he does have the authority over my life, that he is my source of strength and comfort. and more than ever that HE IS FAITHFUL! He will provide a way.


Beyond grateful for an amazing day with some amazing girls, amazing encouragement.


" Because you are precious in My sight and honored , and I love you "


Isaiah 43:4


Thank You Aubrey for some great girl time and dinner, and Tara I can't thank you enough for your sweet and loving encouragement and scripture yesterday .

Love you all, See ya manana.

So Long Insecutity

Can you say "Amen " to that one ?.. I know I sure can .


Let me break it down even further as good ol' Beth did ...

" Insecurity refers to a profound sense of self-doubt, a deep feeling of uncertainty about our basic worth and our place in the world. Insecurity is associated with chronic self-consciouness, along with chronic lack of confidence in ourselves and the anxiety about our relationships. The insecure man or woman lives in constant fear of rejection and a deep uncertainty about whether his or her feelings and desires are legitimate.

" The insecure person also harbors unrealistic expectations about love and relationships. These expectations , for themselves and for others, are often unconscious. The insecure person creates a situation in which being disappointed and hurt in relationships is almost inevitable. Ironically, although insecure people are easily and frequently hurt, they are usually unaware of how they are unwitting accomplices in creating their own misery."







Over the past week or so , I have dove deep into this book and into scripture and I can confidently say that Momma knew what she was doing when she sent it . Gods timing is perfect and I am seeing now how this ongoing battle in my life, if not beat, cant be the end of me. As I go through this , I will be posting and updating anything I am learning and anything that stirs this heart of mine. I am hopeful in all that God has to show me through this and I know He will.

How many of us woman fight the battle of insecurity ? I am fighting this battle with you :)

It's time I say too.... " So long insecurity, you've been a bad friend to me ".

I pray deeply that as I share with you my journey through this , that God blesses your very heart and leads you to a place of understanding just how SECURE you can be.







"A woman of beauty knows in her quiet center, where God dwells that he finds her beautiful, has deemed her worthy,and in Him she is enough"


Many Many Blessings,
