30 day post {Day 18}

Day 18 - a picture of your biggest insecurity.
When I first here the word insecurity, I think of something physical. Like, my legs are so white and usually have bruises on them that I hate showing them. Or how I am insecure that I STILL breakout at the age of 26 and it seems like no matter what I do, make up just won't cover it up. Or how my hair is always so frizzy and I still can't seem to figure out how to get those baby hairs framing my face to keep the hair color in that I dye it. Or how none of my pre pregnancy clothes fit the same on  my now post pregnancy body.

Then I realize that they are just small insecurities that I really don't let get to me for more than 5 minutes. The real insecurity that I have that I deal with the most is being a MOM. I feel there is so much responsibility in raising a little one. Not only the physical aspect of making sure they are clean, fed and watched with a careful eye, but also how to raise them with morals and to love God with all they have. Sometimes I am so nervous that how I am as a parent will directly effect what the future will hold for her and how I will play a part in the person she will become.



What I really need to be doing is trusting that God will give me the tools and confidence that I need to be the parent He needs me to be for her. I need to let the insecurity go and do my best to love and nurture her the best way I know how. Oh ya, and give her tons and tons of kisses and cuddles.

  2. i couldnt agree more. In fact, I was shopping today for some post pregnancy clothes and spent all of about 5 minutes overwhelmed by the form of my new body, but that feeling fades away. The deep and true insecurity in my heart that i need to work through is "do i have what it takes to love and care for this sweet new life the way she needs?" its a big thing, but so rewarding and fulfilling.

  5. I feel the same way! It's such a huge responsibility to raise a child, because as a Christian, I want to do everything I can to raise them up "in the way they should go". . .
    And I can totally relate to the white legs thing. Ugh.
