of what little faith left

i'm learning to breathe, i'm learning to crawl, i'm finding that you and you alone can break my fall ... i'm living again, awake and alive. i'm dying to breathe in these abundant skies - switchfoot

Okay, okay, okay! I'm insecure.

Insecurity is my greatest weakness.

Whenever I'm insecure, I do stupid things. I say stupid crap and I think the worst thoughts about the people of my life. Last night I found myself saying I had a track record of liking girls who were nuts, when in reality (despite their issues - and who doesn't have those?) they were some of the nicest girls I've ever known (why'd you think I liked them?).

I eat too much whenever I'm insecure. I'm already overweight and adding to that isn't helping. I ate so much over spring break that whatever "diet" I had before that was totally negated.

I get lazy whenever I'm insecure. I have a list of things I could have done over spring break but, alas, some of them were not accomplished. Not that I didn't do anything, but there were some things I wish I could have done.

Insecurity exposes me as the self-inflated, self-centered creep that I really am. It exposes me as discontent and anxious, ungrateful and just plain stupid. I start believing the most "comforting" of the dissenting voices in my head, and most of the time it's what brings me down. I start resenting people who are not at fault, and in the process, unintentionally ruin my view of them. Any and all progress I have with my walk with Christ disintegrates whenever I'm insecure.

For some reason, I've been really insecure lately (ya think?). This has been going on for quite a while, so I know I've got a lot of things I need to deal with if I'm ever gonna move on.
