Must Read book for women..

Greetings ppl!
I'm here with a book review to share with y'all!
I wanted to add this post to tell all you gals of a wonderful blessing of a book I have been reading the past month. It's called So Long Insecurity..you've been a bad friend to us. By Beth Moore. I first caught glimpse of it at my church's library, and immediately had to rent it. I saw it and thought hey! its a book about Insecurity (one of my hugest struggles and crosses I bear) AND it's written by Beth Moore, oh howdy doody! (because I had recently attended one of her Bible studies titled the Patriarchs) and grew to really love her style and her sense of humor even on the most serious of subjects. So i knew this book had to be good. Were my ponderings proven right? Oh heck yes they were, I tell you after reading even the first chapter halfway through the book really touched me. All this time I felt as though no one else suffered such an extreme case of insecurity and worry that I did, I always thought it was a lack of development in charcter that made it manifest itself so severely with me (which is one contributing factor but there is also so much more than that I have found) But I realized countless other women suffer from the same and even worse cases of insecurity that I do, and my heart went out to them. So I read through the book, enlightened and also shocked and even pained at some of the stories that many women shared in it. And of course felt comfortable even acknowledging some of the most foolish feelings and worries I've had thanks to Beth's funny humor. She used real life Biblical and current examples to shed light on women who suffer from this incredible plague so often used by the enemy to ensnare us gals the way Eve was ensnared by Him in the beginning. But it has helped alot! I seriously and urgently recommend ALL women who are insecure and even those who really arent to pick this book up and read it at least once! it's incredible! I'm on the slow and diffcult road to healing as we speak, digging up those stubborn roots and patching up wounds of the past, as well as re-evaluating my outlook on people, my struggle and everything in general. As well as learning to trust which proves to be my hardest obstacle because I dont like not being in control, due to Im so afraid things are gonna spiral into disaster even though God promises anything that happens He will turn into good. I still struggle night and day with the feelings but Im beginning to learn how to handle them when they rear their ugly head. Instead of jumping to conclusions, growing cold and walling off, accusing and assuming immediately or outwardly Im learning to analyze whatever triggers an episode and picking it apart til truth is revealed under that ugly deceitful exterior shell. Luckily I have got my heavenly Father beside me and the support of my amazing Trevor to bolster me as I make my way out of the pit. So check it out please, it's an amazing revelation and will help all women who needlessly suffer at the hands of that horrible "frienemy" insecurity.


So thats my short review/testimony on the book, sadly my time with it is almost up and i have to return it :( but Trevor says he will buy me my own copy, yay!!! he rocks! ;) then I will always have it to consult when I falter.


God Bless! <3

Filthy nightmareses'!

hey peeps,
I had yet another rotten dream in where my love Trevor breaks up with me (although this was like a replay of the Elijah breakup, only Trevor was the one breaking up with me instead of elijah, the exact same things happened) He told me he didnt think we were right for one another after all, said he couldnt handle me, said he wasnt sure if all the things he said about me were how we really felt, etc..i asked him if he really thought i was beautiful and the only girl for him, and in an elijah style fashion he said he wasnt sure. it was extremely strange too we were at this high school gynasium or something and there were people dressed in Pokemon costumes, and i remember being so sad and heartbroken that i just laid on the cold gym floor sobbing, cause i tried to hug him and asked him for one more chance (another replay of the elijah breakup) cause I asked eli for a second chance too which he refused to give.. i also remember telling him he's the only guy i want..and no one else fits the bill for a future husband..but he turned cold, and the trey in my dream was definitely not the trey I know in real life..it was pre-breakup elijah in trey's body and form..*shudders* ugh..I just wish the past pain and heartbreak would stop causing insecurity nowadays..in my dreams especially. I'm still wondering how long its going to take to fully heal from the past scars..to stop having nightmares my Trey is going to do the same thing the other bf did..cause he is different, much different. anyways that's a glimpse into my troubled dream-mind, prayers would be greatly appreciated! I'm sooo sick of nightmares like this, I'm slowly becoming more immune to them, though, when i wake up i'm scared to death but once i realize they were just dreams, they usually dont affect me the rest of the day like they used to. *sigh* But God is helping me and i shall continue to press forward to a day when the past scars shall hurt no more..be it in real life or dream land!

:)
stay Blessed!
