I am amazed at the ripe old age of 38 almost 39 I still struggle with insecurity. Worried about whether people like me or not. Like I get sad to think that someone may not like me for whatever reason. Sad but true. I suppose others feel this same way from time to time, they just don't talk about it publically on their blog.....like I did just now. It's all about putting it all out there and a creating a forum for discussion. I guess if others admit to it than I'm not so bad am I. Now if no one responds then I'm just lame I guess. Whatever. Most importantly I know that God loves me, my kid, and my husband, oh and my mom, most of the time.
Happy Martin Luther King Day.....now theres a man who never questioned if God loved him. He lived out what it means to do Gods will. I want to do Gods will.....this is my soul desire. The video above was his last speech given the night before he dies. So prophetic. I love how they show he was so filled with the Holy Spirit that he had to be helped to walk away and then sit down.

We really are sisters, struggling with this subject on a VERY personal level and studying my bible trying to find peace just this morning I came across Proverbs Chapter 16 VS 7 "When a man's ways please the Lord, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him." I struggle with this daily and am trying to remember if I do what God wants me to do the rest will come! Love ya!
I struggle with the exact same thing. I want to be liked! DARN IT! I wish people would respond to my blog so I don't look like a loser.
We all love you Jodi!!!

I thought you knew me pretty well by now - I totally struggle with this. All the time!
It's so hard, too, when it involves spirituality because a lot of times you feel like a bad person or "bad Christian" doubting God's love. But God can handle our doubt, remember that (I think that video of Brian even touches on that.)
