Lord, I think I'm getting sick again. Nevertheless, I am determined to have an awesome day with you. To sit at your feet and behold your beauty. This exchange you have been talking to me about. I'm holding back. I am not ready to give up some things. But oh how you have brought me so far. How you have brought Joe so far too is just so unbelievable. We're going to church on Saturday. It's been about 2 weeks and I hate when that happens cuz then it's so hard for me to walk through those doors because of my insecurities. You know, I just realized something. I don't think the the enemy wants me at the church. What if my insecurity issues is all a delusion.
I better be on guard to the enemy stopping me from going. Open my eyes to his traps Lord to the ones that are hidden. So that I might trample him under my feet with all the power and authority that I have in You. Give me supernatural love and grace to extend to my husband and children today. Cover me in the armor of God.
Oh,ya, and please tell the enemy IT"S ON!!

I go through the same thing Athena. You are beautiful and wonderfully made. There is nothing to feel insecure about. You are a daughter of the King.
The Lord has been showing me that when I start to feel "insecure" it is really because I am starting to become "self-absorbed". This is really contrary to what you think about when you think of insecure, eh?
Hold your head up high as you walk in the church doors! Not because you have any pride in your self, but because you come in the service of the King. As you walk in try to notice someone else who may be standing off alone. Remember, he has sent you on a mission...
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort. Who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
God has placed you as a bright light within Calvary Chapel. As you focus on being that light for those that feel like "no one has said a word to me" your own life will be illuminated. God can take all of that sadness and insecurity to bring us to a place of compassion towards others. However, when we keep it rather than allow God to use it then it becomes a gangrene within our own souls that infects everyone we come in contact with rather than a catalyst of blessing. Does that make sense? I'm praying for you!!
