This year I have dealt consistently with control issues. I like to have all control in my hands where it should be in the Lord's hands. I have no say over what I am going to do tomorrow, or what I am going to do in the future. I have to rely on the Lord and know that he has the most perfect plan for me. This has been a hard one to give over to the Lord, but I can see so much improvement and it's amazing how giving over control to God has brought me so close to him. I can't rely on myself only Him.
Another thing I have been dealing with is insecurities. Of course all girls deal with insecurities but this year on the mission trip to New Orleans, Chris Armfield spoke about what are we hiding? The one thing that I kept hearing over and over again was
Your insecurities are robbing you of happiness.
I knew immediately that I was hiding my insecurities from my myself and even from God. I wasn't admitting to Him that I was weak and that I needed Him to get rid of thinking that I am not perfect.
"So God created man in HIS OWN IMAGE."
-Genesis 1
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
-Psalm 139: 14
I have always heard all these truths but that night on the trip it just really hit home with me. Why should we worry about the way we look because God made us in HIS image. We are perfect in HIS eyes and there is nothing that he wants to change about us.
