I was just telling my best friend today that I think I cuddled him too much as a pup. :o) He is so loving and loyal. Guinness has a way of making a terrible day better!<br /><br />My husband actually gets jealous sometimes. He told me one night, "I have to keep reminding myself he's just a dog." I know I shouldn't, but I talk to my dog. When Peter caught me doing this one day he rolled his eyes. Here is the exchange that took place:<br /><br />Me: What?! You never talked to your pets? What about Mandy? (this was his pet, a cat, while growing up)<br /><br />Peter: Nope.

You can take the girl out of the South but you can not take the South out of the girl. Sorry you are forever stuck with your little twinge of Southern dialect and your wonderful, lovely bible study gals (hope this does not make you insecure). Anyway, I absolutely loved this book and the experience to share it with some beautiful women. Insecurity and I go waaay back, we were friends since high school!! For years I let insecurity rob me of my dignity. Proverbs 31 has painted a beautiful portrait of me and I know that insecurity will try to come back every so often and take this away from me. But now that I know what to look for, I am determined not to let that happen. Now I can confidently and courageously move with passion to the purpose God has planned for me because I am clothed with strength and dignity; I can laugh at the days to come. (Proverbs 31:25) Garcia, you know I just love to sit in the mall (any mall) and people watch. Thanks to Beth Moore's book and our bible study, this taken people watching to a whole new level!!Queen Gwenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03474528780563013230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3172091607080917337.post-56437018067148021232010-04-15T20:28:11.270-04:002010-04-15T20:28:11.270-04:00What an awesome book. What an awesome God we have...What an awesome book. What an awesome God we have. He knows us better than we know ourselves and loves us more than we love ourselves! The line Beth draws between self loathing and pride hits too close to home as I realize this truth. If my Savior calls me beloved, worthy of his deepest interest, so much so that He was willing to die to be with me, who am I to say different?! <br />How exciting to see the transforming power of God’s word set our little group free from the torture that our own insecurity has caused us. I have seen us girls bravely (Holy Spirit empowered) face some of the deepest hurts and worst of fears. We now realize that as we play it through to the end – He is still there, He still loves us, and He still and always has our best in mind. He Never, Never allows something to cross our path that isn’t for our good and His glory. Oh! How I love Him!<br />Now we know that as long as we are on this earth we will probably deal with some insecurity. As Beth puts it, this world is a scary place and our fallen selves are always vulnerable to hurt and pain. We can trust that we will face trouble, sickness, rejection, loss, fear . . . . but more than that we know WE CAN TRUST HIM – PERIOD. No exceptions, no conditions. So we will press on, loving and supporting our sisters to live the life of a secure woman, leaving for our daughters a legacy of godly confidence and beauty. Thank you Lord for how you Love us and lead us!<br />Garcia, we will miss you! Your testimony of faith and your determination to seek the face of your God and live the life He intended for you is an inspiration. Our time with was too short, but we know we have forever. You will never be rid of the little part of the South that is now in your heart – we know where to find you!

It was an amazing time of discovery of ourselves and each other. I know for me, this book has changed my life. Seriously. I now know that no matter what has happened in my past, God has given me strength and dignity and no one can take it from me. I can however, surrender it. But that's something I will be on my guard about from this day forward. The book has also taught me how to recognize insecurities in others and by knowing that, I can extend grace when it's needed. <br /><br />We're sure going to miss you but thankfully we'll still have the blog!
