the canyon of inferiority
in 6th grade, we learned about it from Dr. Dobson. he called it the canyon of inferiority. we liked to make fun of it back then.
now, i am realizing that insecurity is probably satan's biggest and most successful conspiracy yet.
it is amazing the things people do to feel accepted and to justify themselves on the scale of coolness.
take me for example, i have a blog to make myself feel special. until nobody posts comments and then i become depressed again. ok that part was a joke but the rest of this is serious.
a few years back insecurity was a huge struggle for me. until erica and a few others knocked some sense into me, and, even more, i just got plain sick of it. it is a pretty draining personality trait to have.

in the big scheme of things, the approval of others matters an incredibly small amount.

there is nothing more relieving than sitting back and relaxing in the security and identity of Christ, and not caring what anyone else thinks of you. forget the clothes, the cds, the friends, the homecoming crown, the sweet hot-red geo prizm in your driveway, the number of buddies on your buddy list and the counter number on your blog...they dont mean a thing.

you are who the creator of the universe intended you to be and there is nothing more comforting than that.




just relax.
