Security



Why am I constantly deleting myself and recreating myself? Am I having some sort of midlife crisis? I doubt it, I’m not old enough for that. Is it an identity crisis? I doubt that. I’m to firm in my identity for that. 

I’ve been the same little girl that was in the fields picking flowers with the other girls and tying them together making head bands; while at the same time chasing the boys around the play ground playing tag. I’ve never grown out of that. This isn’t an identity crisis. 

So why do I feel the need to constantly recreate myself? I’ve deleted and recreated my bumble so many times that it’s embarrassing to even say hi. I’ve gone AWOL from Facebook except to post blogs only to delete them within 24 hours. 

The only security I have is the loss of security. This is different from insecurity. I am not insecure. I am very secure in who I am. But in the loss of security I find my security. By this, I mean by not placing my value of myself in other peoples opinion and allowing myself the grace and option to recreate myself until I’m satisfied with who I want to be, I feel satisfaction. 

I’m not afraid to appear foolish. Yes, I’m going through that teenage funky stage of figuring things out. I am growing. Right now I’m a 


I won’t apologize for me going through this stage. It appears absolutely insane on the outside, but that’s because as outsiders you see the concept with out understanding the context.

I understand this quote at a deeper level, and I think I’m trudging through the negatives right now to get to the positives that will come at the end of this tunnel I am walking through. 

This tunnel is more like the kind you go through at a haunted theme park that has strobe lights and a twisting bridge and all sorts of funny things happening. I’m ok with that. You have to go through the bad to get to the good. 

I read a quote that said two men looked out through the barn and one saw mud and the other saw stars. I see stars. While I am trudging through this, my chin is up and I see the silver lining. I am changing. My life is changing. 

Caterpillars go through darkness to turn into butterflies. Coal undergoes pressure and turns into a diamond. I too am undergoing some kind of crazy sort of unrealistic something and I believe something beautiful is going to come out of all the changes. 

At some point I will settle down and I will become grounded. I will stop deleting and I will just know. That this is it, this is now. This is where I begin and I will start from there and never look back and just continue forward. I’m so close to that stage. 

I’ve set my goals, and they are achievable. I have my people, and they are good. It’s leap year. 

So maybe I will leap today into the start of not looking back and just moving forward.

The past is now my stepping stones and I am leaping forward. Tomorrow is March 1, and I am stepping ahead one foot in front of the other, with security.

Mad

I am sitting here watching Daniel the Tiger and they are singing a song called “Mad” and one thing that I am learning now that I didn’t know then is that it’s ok to be mad at some one.  I only used to get mad at inanimate objects because they didn’t have any feelings and I am that sensitive of a person that I knew that they couldn’t get hurt so I would take my feelings of anger out on things not people.  I never wanted to hurt a persons feelings because I knew how it felt to be hurt by anger and I didn’t want to make someone feel how I felt.  It’s ok to be mad at people. This is how I always would be: You don’t want to walk around being a victim all the time. You don’t want to walk around being hurt all the time. Its ok to be angry. But. And there’s a huge but! It’s not cool to be cruel. Be angry BUT use your anger and let it be a cathartic release to catalyst you into something amazing such as.... painting, sports, music, running. Anything. Something. It’s power. Let it ...

Clarity

I have been a Lone Ranger for quite some time and by that I mean, I haven’t been reading my Bible like I should. I know God is with me. I know His grace covers and protects me, and I know He is sovereign but I have been taking it for granted.  I went to my home church this morning. I’ve been going to River Oak but I decided to go to my home church with my mom this morning.   The message really spoke to me. Pastor Ray said basically that it’s easy to understand from an outside perspective and make a judgment call but unless you know the context of the situation you don’t understand the concept of the reality of the situation.  He preached out of John 4 where Jesus had to go through Samaria which was basically going through a land of the most hated people to get to Galilee. There he met a Samaritan woman by the well who had been married 5 times and living with a man. And he asked her for water. And she was surprised. Then Jesus said if she only knew the gift God had for her...

Feelings

We all have feelings. We all have emotions. Some run deeper than other and some are just surface level ideologies that you can learn to compartmentalize into nice little neat boxes and forget about for a while. What happens when those feeling overwhelm us and we can’t understand how to cope with them? What happens when we sink so low that we feel abandoned by God? What do we do then? How do we deal with our emotions without allowing them to control us? How do we allow ourselves to properly feel and let go while still praising our creator? Let’s take a close look at the story of Joseph. Joseph was loved by his father because he was the first born of the woman he worked so hard to marry Rachel.  Out of 12 brothers, he was the favorite. Because he was the favorite, his brothers were jealous. Then one day, Joseph told his brothers about a dream he had about his brothers bowing down to him. This put his brothers a little over the edge. He then told his brothers another dream about ...
