Insecurity.

"we all have insecurities. they piggyback on the vulnerability inherent in our humanity. the question is whether or not our insecurities are substantial enough to hurt, limit, or even distract us from profound effectiveness or fulfillment of purpose. are they cheating us of the powerful and abundant life jesus flagrantly promised?" - Beth Moore.

"So Long, Insecurity" by Beth Moore, was recently recommended to me by a good friend. I went into this book with two different aspects: one, I've read so many books that have brushed the topic of insecurity and now here is another one. I sure hope this doesn't get boring and that I lose interest. And then the other aspect, I could really use any advice right now. I'm feeling more insecure than ever, lately, and I just need help.
Let me just say I am more than pleased and I am only into the first two chapters. Right off the bat, it hit home; I felt all of the author's words speaking right to me and at times made me flush in the cheeks because I was embarrassed that almost everything Moore wrote was true in my life.

Insecurity has been more relevant in my life recently dealing with an insecurity, labeled jealousy. It's a nasty one, to say the least! I hate it. I don't try to be jealous, it just happens. And quite frankly I don't like it when I am jealous. I honestly never ever thought it was linked to being insecure. And this jealousy occurs most in a relationship, even just friendship. I'm trying to deal with it, and its rough. But I am putting some faith in this book and hoping it will provide me with some answers and a new outlook on life.
