drowning in your own insecurities
hey all you bloggers out there!
We live in a world, where what one person says, goes, especially regarding what is "in" and what isn't. We all have our own insecurities, from our figures, to our ability to do something, the way we look and dress...everything about our lives. We all have our weaknesses too! Sometimes, I feel like I'm not good enough for people, my Father, my family, and prince...and then I remember, none of us are perfect. It is ok for me to have my flaws, I'm only human afterall. And my insecurities, are things I can work on to change.
I think we need to realise though, somethings, we cannot change. The way we feel about ourselves, our bodies, our ability to do things...these things we can change. For the simple reason...these problems belong to us. They are problems we have about ourselves and you will probably have people trying to encourage you saying you are beautiful and great at doing certain things. Not being good enough for your prince? Now that's a tricky one. Not knowing who your prince is, doesn't always help, but remember...he has flaws too. Recently, I've been thinking about my prince, and it is exciting not knowing who he is and I don't worry about not knowing, because my God knows.
Take a good look at yourselves people and remember...you are fearfully and wonderfully made by the true Father of the only perfect being to walk the earth. Be encouraged by that. He loves you no matter what you look like or what you achieve in life and so will your true prince.
anyway...I'll be taking some time out folks, I'm going on holiday for two weeks on Friday (the 7th) and I can't wait!! But when I return, I'm sure I'll have lots to share with you all!
peace

Precisely!! If a guy is truly meant for you then he wont care about your looks/weight/height/dress sense/weaknesses/flaws etc. He even wont care if you have a weird family!! Not that I'd know bout that...ahem :D If he judges you and makes you feel in any way unworthy of him then its true, you're not worthy of him... you're worthy of a guy who unlike him isnt a complete jerk :)

Insecurity - is a doubt that we have within us - that is those whose sensitivity is part of one's character.
How we doubt ourselves.
1) Am I as good as my sister - family values.
2) I am no good at sports - not like my best friend - school values.
3) Why am I not as popular as my friends are - relationship values.
4) My work colleagues are better than me - work place values.
These doubts are all understandable and part of learning about ourselves - that we may strive to a level which makes us feel more secure within ourselves.
There are doubts and insecurities too within the Church and over the ages the Bible has depicted many for us to see. Ordination of a priest, a sister, a bishop, or pope - will all lead to doubts as to their suitability of worth.
Your worth is for all to see - and God has words of encouragement for us all to hear - we must take the time to listen.
