i've thought a lot about sharing my insecurities and areas where i stuggle. and i've tossed it around and around in my mind. but i've come to the conclusion that if i don't tell people some of my struggles, growth may be harder to see, people won't have to oppourtunity to say "hey! i struggle with that too, man, i thought i was the only one!" and most of all, i wouldn't be opening up to Jesus to change me. i'm not saying i'm gonna spill my guts and post everything i struggle with, thats what a journal is for, thats why we pray, i'm just saying that maybe opening up about struggles is a really good thing.
anyways, what i've really been having a hard time with lately is comparing myself to others. as a girl, its sorta part of my makeup to see how i measure up to every other girl i see. it is one of the biggest things i hate about the female race!!!!!!!!!!!!! once i heard someone say that girls probably check out other girls more than guys do, just because they are examining eachother to see how they compare with each other. i believe it. it is a huge challenge. and i am blessed to have the Lord to tell me that i am His beautiful creation and that it doesn't matter what i look like the the worlds eyes. please pray for me that i would see that always. that is what i pray for all girls, that we'd just see our beauty. not because we're the tallest or skinniest, but because we have an identity in the Creator of the universe and He says we're beautiful.
