So Long, Insecurity

I have been a fan of Beth Moore's Bible studies ever since I did her Daniel Bible study in the fall of 2006. I took that workbook of mine across the ocean with me when I went on my missions trip to Scotland, and my Bible study girls prayed with me about the guy I met when I was over there (who now is my husband). Now, I know that Beth Moore had nothing to do with my meeting my husband--that was all God's doing--but remembering that time in my life brings sweet memories, and her Bible study helped me get into a habit of studying God's Word and listening for His voice--a very important practice to have when one is making huge decisions like who to marry!

On Saturday, I had the privilege of attending Beth's simulcast for her book So Long, Insecurity. I had bought my mom a ticket and the book for her birthday present in March. It was a fun girls' day, but it was also a life-changing day for me and my mom. Insecurity affects women everywhere, and it's about time we fought against it! I was encouraged to know that, with God's power, I can become a confident, secure woman. My prayer is that the 300,000+ women who attended the event on Saturday will find their security in Christ and start spreading that message to everyone they know. It could have quite the impact on our world!
