I was ruminating over my first post and realized something: The funny thing about insecurities is we all think we’re the only person who has them. Think about it – we’re always so surprised when we find out someone we know has insecurities:
“Her? No way! She’s like, perfect!”
“But he’s so confident!”
“But she’s so pretty!”
“But he has so many friends!”
And yet, these people have so many of the same insecurities we’ve all found ourselves plagued by. Hmmm…
What if we all stopped being surprised by insecurities? What if we all were open about it? What if we all stopped hiding behind our insecurities, and stepped around to face them and therefore conquered them?
I think the Kingdom of God would explode all over the earth.
Think about THAT for a minute.
And that is why I’m taking my blog public. Totally cold-turkey public. Because I am TIRED of letting this insecurity I have about people reading what I write standing between me and the glorious gift God has given me in my ability to put words to page.
So…what insecurity is standing between you and God’s calling?
Visiting from Sarah’s site (I’ve never met her but have a dear friend that knows her) Yay for going public. Insecurities – ha! Ummm…. that I’ll fall flat on my face or that I’ll get in trouble at work for saying what I believe VERY clearly. Thank you for sharing and for letting us in!

My insecurity? Letting go and letting God.
Welcome to blogging! Popping over from Kingdom Mama’s blog
I found your blog from Sarah at KingdomTwindom, and I must say I LOVE your honesty. When you said “What if God’s ability to direct my steps is much bigger than my ability to follow my own plans?” it really hit me. It is so easy to be convinced of my “power” to mess up and not be convinced of God’s sovereignty and grace.
Thank you for writing
