Insecurity with one's self:
While going through my calendar I realized how many graduation party's and anniversary party's we are to attend these next three months. I started asking myself, "What am I going to wear?" Which made me realize how insecure I am with what I look like, after talking to someone from the past I really didn't feel comfortable with myself. I opened up Sheila Walsh's book which made me realize that I'm not alone. A lot of us women feel the same way but not all of us have God in our lives. For me, God has always been here with me but have I always been there for Him. That's the question I had to ask my self, because if He was always on my mind, if I did everything in His name I wouldn't feel this way about myself. He asks us to take care of the temple He's given us, our body's.

Now that I have opened up my eyes again, I can see that God is here for me and will help me to better myself physically. I'm sure glad to know that God will always be here for me, now I need to show Him that I will always be there for Him.
I recommend Sheila's book to all women! I've taken the first paragraph from Chapter One to share with all of you!
"Insecurity:
I've got nothing to wear!
Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me, get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly.
-MATTHEW 11:28-30 (THE MESSAGE)
I am woman, hear me roar!
-Ray Burton and Helen Reddy, 1972
America is a couples' culture. If you are over the age of twenty-one and not married or heading in that direction, friends and family will attempt to fix you up with Mr. Right. If you are widowed or divorced, it is assumed that Mr. Next is just around the corner......"
I'm Not WONDER WOMAN BUT GOD MAD ME Wonderful! by Sheila Walsh
