moments of weakness
I guess in every person's life there comes a time when you have to tell the truth even if it hurts. Lately, I have been dealing with my own insecurities and what other's think about me. I can say out loud as much as I want that words don't hurt me and I don't care what others think, but inside I am cringing at the thought of someone not liking me or my family. I put way too much emphasis on what other's think sometimes. It's one of my downfalls. God has reminded me time and again that we are not called to be popular, we are called to bring the truth to the world, His Truth. My weakness is to say the right words to make everyone get along and I am constantly fighting that. God doens't want me to compromise His truths just to get everyone to like each other. God has given me so many opportunities to stand for the truth and sometimes I fail. I want God to work and shape me. Part of this transformation is the way I view myself. Thankfully God never gives up on me and my faults. He uses these moments to shape me. It's up to me how long it will take God to form me into the woman he wants me to be.

Everyone has insecurities and if they don't they are liars or blind to their own faults.
I am too insecure to post on here everything that came to my mind so one day we will chat :0)
Your loving, kind, gorgeous, blond, Christ lover, a fantastic friend, wife and mother. Who cares (easier said than done believe me I know) what everyone else thinks. If they don't like you and your family then it is totally their loss!!
Wonderfully said Tonya, I can identify with saying other's views don't bother you, but really on the inside you are being tore apart. Don't be afraid to be bold, God is your strength! Easier said than done as Kimberly said.
I try to remind myself that it is better for a few people to talk behind your back than God feel like you have turned your back on Him!
On a side note: I second everything Keym said you are and will add a great role model, beautiful singer and fun to be around!
Not to mention, your kids are wonderful and outgoing! They must have two wonderful parents that fill them with love, time and disciplines of Christ!
First, I don't know why anyone wouldn't like you and your family.
Second, where do you think those thougths come from? When I have those thoughts I recognize it as the enemy and I quote Philipians 4:8 to myself. ...whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable - if anything is excellant or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Don't let the enemy mess with you! And I want you to know that my family, thinks your family is pretty cool! ;D
Blessings!
Wow, those words are way more than I deserve. Thank you! I will pray Phil. 4:8 today Milah and anytime I get to feeling insecure. God has really blessed me today through you all.
Tonya- I so agree with EVERY THING all three have mentioned here. The only regret I have is that I don't know you better! That sure isn't your fault or mine... just life! :) So, hang in there and hold your head high! You are one totally beautiful daughter of the most High and never ever be afraid to say what He puts on your heart! He takes care of his girls (ok, guys too... but you get my drift)!! I promise!!! :) Praying for you!
Just wanted to add to all the other thoughts and tell you that I Love You and think the world of you!!
