So Long Insecurity, Week 7

1. Based on Chapter 12, name one "I already knew that" moment and one "that's new to me" moment, if either applies. I think that the quote on page 230, "We as men (me included) have failed to assure women they are God's most beautiful creation. A woman's insecurities could be drastically reduced if men would love like Jesus did," offered me a refreshing approach that some men really do realize their impact on how we feel towards our body image.

2. Based on Chapter 13, how does a weak will play into our insecurity?
We are quick to give in to our will. We fail to let God's power and glory show up. For example, when I give in to the temptations of life, I may fail to use the Holy Spirit as my guidance. Or, perhaps it is more of a situation of failing to know who I am in Christ. I know that I am a daughter of a mighty king! :) A royal princess. But, there are plenty of days when I fail to see myself covered with God's glory.
