So Long Insecurity

A friend of mine who also is the mother of three including a set of twins, read this amazing book called So Long Insecurity by Beth Moore. She didn't just read it once but started it again a year after the first time, and different things spoke to her. But one thing would not leave her mind. "Every. Woman. Needs. To. Read. This." So she prayed about it, bounced the idea off of a close friend, and decided that, in fact, the Lord was leading her to invite a group of women to get together to confront the insecurities that the enemy is attacking us with, uproot them and replace them with the word of God using this book!

Last night was our first time getting together. It was meet and greet style with snacks and good conversation compelled by great ice breaker questions. There were 12 of us there, and 2 or 3 were missing that will be joining in the weeks to come.

As I looked around the room at the women and heard their stories about why they wanted to do this group, it was obvious to me that my friend was right. God put this on her heart. In obvious ways I could see that each woman had a partner in that room that was sharing the same struggle or place in life. There were so many parallels that were weaving our lives together. I can't wait to see the not so obvious things that God has in store for us!

I felt the timing of this group was perfect, as God's timing always is! It's been almost two years now since Dustin and I separated. One of the fall out's from that is that I have been struggling with insecurity about my life as a mother, a friend, a person...a christian. I care way too much about what other people think of me now....to the point that it causes some anxiety. I'm tired of being in this place. I'm ready to step out of this bondage and into the freedom that I have been given in Christ Jesus!
