Lesson 3

Taken from Beth Moore’s So Long, Insecurity blog:

OK, so let’s get to this week’s assignments. We’ve reached a very important point in our journey. We’re about to dig up eight deep roots of insecurity. No, we’re not looking for excuses but a little understanding can go a mighty long way. Haven’t you ever wondered why it dogs you so? You may be about to find out. This week I’d like for you to give special attention to Chapters FIVE and SIX. Here are the two questions I want you to answer here on the blog:

1. After reading these two chapters, what do you believe to be the TWO primary roots of your struggle with insecurity? Keep in mind that more may apply but try to lock in on two that you believe to be most impactful.

2. What, if any, insight did you gain about the roots of insecurity and did you sense that God was trying to speak to you in any specific way through it? (This answer does not need to be limited to the two roots you identified in the previous response.)

SLI Lesson 2

OK, so let's get to our discussions for Week Two. Read or thoroughly review CHAPTERS THREE and FOUR then answer the questions that follow this paragraph.
Remember to add your basic bio information every time you comment: First name, age decade, married or single, city, state.
If at any time, your answer is too vulnerable for you to want to identify yourself, just go with age decade and married or single status. Those facts themselves bring insight to your answers.

1. Based on Chapter Three, what tends to be your own "Prominent False Positive"?

2. What is the challenge stated at the very end of Chapter Three? (I want us to see this restated in our comments hundreds of times so it breaks into our belief systems. It is critical to our journey. SO, I don't care how many times you've seen it written on this post, write it again for yourself. That's your mama talking.)

3. Based on Chapter Four, what Biblical figure (or statement about him/her) resonated with you most and why?

That's it for this week! I can't wait to see your answers. Remember, you have until next Thursday morning to answer your questions.

Insecurity all around me!

I have found out that I can't record "one" instance that I have found insecurity, but many. Just moments ago, as I was putting up laundry, I walked in front of the mirror and caught a glimpse of someone that I am not use to seeing. You see, I weigh more now than ever before. It is like, "Who is that person"? But, as that might be, I will never forget, not long ago, me fussing about my appearance and my son answering, " there is nothing wrong with the way you look mom, you are just my mom". Now that is what I call "Love".

Just Sunday as I am sitting in my truck waiting for the time to go into the church, I find myself sitting there realizing that while I have dressed comfortably, wearing my tennis shoes because of the back pain, I have wore a short matching jacket and didn't put on those panties that say "squeeze it in honey", I am all of a sudden aware of my dimple butt...that just might be out there for all to see. Do you know it ran across my mind to back my truck up and high tail it home.... But I didn't...

I walk in the church, fully aware, mind you, that I need to find a seat as fast as possible... And I do. Needless to say, I am sure glad that I didn't back that truck up, because the message that Pastor John preached was much more awarding that my dimple behind... Mind you.. next Sunday I will for sure pay better attention to what I am most comfortable in.

Behind as always!

Here I lay watching Amazing Race because my favs, Jordan and Jeff, from Big Brother is on here, when actually I ought to be doing my SLI homework. But there is a good side to this, I have added the blogger to my homepage. Therefore, now I can for sure keep up with everything. *** yes, I can.. yes, I can*** But I promise myself..... I am going to catch up...

Let me first start off by saying thank you to my sister, Mona, for getting me the book, "So Long, Insecurity", by Beth Moore, and getting me interested in this group study. I am new to all this blogging stuff and I have a lot to learn. I am not sure how I am going to do with trying to write what I am thinking and blogging, but it is worth a try.
We have snow on the ground and work has been called off tomorrow, so I have plenty of time to catch up on my reading and learning this blog site.

See you tomorrow, and may God Bless!

So Long, Insecurity
