Many times our insecurity and shyness is based on our fear of what others will think about us ie. our focus is all on us. <BR/><BR/>I have had to repent for stage fright because I wanted my audience to like me! That's now why God gives us a platform, it's always to give HIM the glory, not us. <BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>SuePraise and Coffeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273673325959351521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-16456007581932782182007-09-25T23:56:00.000-04:002007-09-25T23:56:00.000-04:00Hi, I was just scanning through your blog as I saw...Hi, I was just scanning through your blog as I saw your comment on my good friend's blog post today (The happy geek). <BR/><BR/>I wanted to add to your pride weapon. I've been learning that pride is not always just boastfulness. <BR/><BR/>Sometimes it is masked as uncertainty or insecurity. Low self-confidence.<BR/><BR/>All of these things separate us from doing God's will. We decide that they are legitimate excuses for staying safe in our comfort zones. <BR/><BR/>Instead, we need to be trusting in God to help us through new risks and big steps for Him.<BR/><BR/>If we legitimize our actions, we are being too proud to trust in God. Too proud to chance rejection or humiliation on behalf of our Savior. <BR/><BR/> What do you think?

It's so true that one of these at a time seems like a "little" thing..."I'm just having a bad day. or I'm tired. or The kids have been getting on my nerves." Excuses, all. These things start small and blow up. We must watch for them in our lives. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for this post.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13893224927335285415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-92004479967400322542007-09-13T22:08:00.000-04:002007-09-13T22:08:00.000-04:00Good word and something to think on for the day. ...Good word and something to think on for the day.

You captured my attention right off the bat with your title, captured my mind with your descriptions of the various WMD's that assail us, and captured my heart with your story. Thank you so much... your link is going on my blog list right now! :) <BR/><BR/>One of my WMD's is time management. I can get so wrapped up in my list of things to do that I lose focus, and my priority shifts from where it needs to be. I need to trust the Lord to order my days.<BR/><BR/>"Be very careful, then, how you live--not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the Lord's will is."<BR/><BR/>— Ephesians 5:15-17Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1636139298576673779.post-58315462312504565702007-09-13T19:42:00.000-04:002007-09-13T19:42:00.000-04:00Great post, Sue!
