Insecurity in myself/lack of self-confidence. I must come across differently in some areas, though, because a friend of mine wrote me a note saying that she looked up to me and my confidence. Say wha? :p Or maybe I think I'm more insecure than I am?

Along those lines...

Overthinking.

I think that an inner trust in the Lord (Proverbs 3.5-6) will eventually produce an attitude of quiet confidence.

My biggest one is probably lack of faith which often leads to fear. Fear of man, fear of responsibility, fear of failure, fear of success. I am afraid to do many normal everyday life things, not to mention the bold things we are commanded to do as believers. Verses like the fearful and cowardly will not inherit the kingdom are more than a little frightening to say the least.

I guess that is why I try to control everything. The reality is, I control nothing. God is the one who does.

I find it hard to be vulnerable/trusting. The Lord really is working with me on that.

Many of you may be thinking, "Gosh, for saying that, she sure seems vulnerable/heart open here on CC." That I am. But the internet offers a different sense of protection.

I freaked out about it a while back about it, though. About sharing too much of myself. I just got to thinking about Shour, GLR, DuchessAimee, and Catlynn's get together, and I thought, "If I ever met anyone from CC, they would know things about me. They would know my dark stuff, my struggles. I would feel so exposed." And it terrified me. But I don't like that it terrified me. I don't want to be that way and yet it is there.

I'm too blunt. Waaaaay too blunt. lol, I tend to tone it down on CC a little but I'm brutally honest. I'm the type of person that says things you really aren't "supposed" to say.

Being a member of the Church of Christ I find it better to be straight forward on telling people what the truth is, not that their going to like it, but I can find out more on why they don't like it by doing it this way it seems to me. Then I can explain to them where they seem to have their problem, like for instance on speaking in tongues or miracles, then I can explain to them by showing them why their wrong.
