I know these feelings, too - even thou...Oh, friend. I know these feelings, too - even though I KNOW that I am made in HIS image and my thoughts about ugliness are LIES.<br /><br />At the same time, I struggle with being too hard on myself and balancing that with a healthy desire to improve myself. I guess that's just it: WE can't improve ourselves. Only God can do that.<br /><br />I'm sorry you have these feelings. I know what it's like, though. One thing that has helped was the Me, Myself & Lies study I did last summer. Have you done that one (or read the book it's based on, Self Talk Soul Talk by Jennifer Rothschild)? I highly recommend it.<br /><br />As for what I'm scared of - well, you know some of it from my post! I'm scared of people not liking me and of not living up to my potential. Those are my biggies.Mary @ Giving Up On Perfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879039457971511498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2227273988801096745.post-41532643795463088062010-08-11T09:31:12.143-05:002010-08-11T09:31:12.143-05:00Loneliness.
I've always been afraid of being ...Loneliness.<br /><br />I've always been afraid of being alone. Not like I can't be by myself for an hour or two, but really and truly alone. Feeling like no one really wants to be friends with me, but they do it out of pity or compulsion. <br /><br />I think loneliness is part of the human condition. At the fall, we were separated from God and from one another. To some extent we'll feel that until eternity. It's still a fear though.Monica Geehttp://www.deliberatelydomestic.comnoreply@blogger.com
