Hi. My name is Malissa, and I am a terrible blogger! I could list out the reasons why it has been so long since I blogged, but I don’t think that is really necessary. When I get right down to the root of it, I think it comes down to the fact that I think I have nothing profound to say. But, that really doesn’t matter. I let myself get caught up in that tiny little theory. Insecurity at its finest I suppose.
Insecurity… anybody battle it? Well, I can tell you first hand that it’s the enemy. It will tear you down and change you into a totally different person if you allow it too. I can say that because I have fought the war with it for the past several months. In just about every area of my life. It has not been fun, but I don’t have to go into all the details for anyone to understand. The fact is that most, if not all, of us deal with it heavily at times. Whether we choose to admit that or not. Here’s the beautiful part about it though. Just when you think you are alone, He is right there to pull you up out of the pit. I am so glad to say that God is with us. With me. With you. He’s in the middle of our chaos, our hurt, our insecurity, and He wants to completely abolish it from our lives. We just have to let go of it too. He has taught me so much lately, and I LOVE HIM and praise Him for being my Savior.
I hope to share some of the things in my life that God is helping me overcome in the next few posts. It’s exciting.
Right now, though, I just want to spread some of the love little man is giving out lately. He is an absolute joy right now. He’s always been a joy, don’t get me wrong, but lately he has been different. We’ve moved out of a tantrum, clingy phase into a world or words, laughing, playing, and fun. It might have something to do with the better attitude and perspective Mom is gaining too. Nonetheless, we have entered a stage of a lot of fun. Now I know there will be more tantrum stages to come, but right now, I am LOVING this one!
He is growing so much and will soon be 2 years old! It’s so hard to believe. Also, we both LOVE this weather. I know Fall is a lot of people’s fave season, but it really is mine too. We have been outside a lot these days.
