... you've been a bad friend. I'm starting my first on-line blogging book study today. Led by Beth Moore. It's her new book that was released on February 2, 2010.
I was sharing with Brian that I was doing this study... he didn't get it. Actually he said, "What do you have to be insecure about?" Oh, if only I could have his outlook, I probably wouldn't be covered in hives right now, would I? I simply responded, I am a woman I compare myself to every other woman out there and what they can do that I can't, what they do that is better than I can do, hair color, nails, figure... the list goes on and on and on. It's been comforting to know tat I'm NOT the only woman that struggles with these thoughts. I know... these thoughts are not of God... but, I'm human.
Satan loves to badger us. He's constantly putting my past in front of me... secretly saying... Angela, you can't do this, you can't do that... remember when? That's when I find my self repeating "For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins." Colossians 1:13-14. That's right... God saved me from all my past transgressions and sins... by sending His Son to pay the price on that old rugged cross. Makes me want to burst out in song... Oh what a Savior... oh hallelujah"
All this to say, God saved me from my sins.... now it's up to me to allow Him to get rid of the rest of the "junk"... that bogs me down and keeps me from serving Him 100% along side my fellow sistas and friends. Meaning... letting go of ALL my insecurities, and knowing that I am wonderfully made.
How about it... let's do this!
