I deleted the post I wrote last night - it felt too much like boasting, and I was uncomfortable with that. I decided that enumerating my various accomplishments in order to convince myself that I wasn't wasting my time was just another form of insecurity.
I aspire instead to have not only the quiet confidence that I am living my life in a way that pleases my Lord, my husband, and myself, but also the humility to admit that all of the positive changes in my life are due not to my own feeble efforts, but to the grace of God. I may not have gotten there yet, but I'm trying.

Confidence
