Already late to the #consumedbyconfidence movement, but honestly haven’t felt early to anything in a while anyways.
But GOSH, I wanted to do this though! (Even though “confidence” is low on the list of words I’d use to describe myself and INSTAGRAM I’VE ABANDONED YOU AND I AM HARDLY HERE ANYMORE).
I never know what to say and something about social media feels extra superficial now that out of school. It sucks.
Yet here I am. Awkward. I hope this doesn’t sound too sad, although if someone is reading this and is also sad, hi. I’m sometimes insane, always insecure about something, and struggling not to be antisocial in a city of strangers. I’m (obviously) not completely confident yet, but I’m believing for the day when I will be #consumedbyconfidence (I can’t wait for that). Thanks @ashton_m_long for being a confidence queen and starting this movement 💫
Molly,
This is beautiful. Beauty from ashes!! I love how the Lord works and turns out darkness into light.
To underscore what you were saying, the Lord recently showed me that when he talks to Jacob (Isaiah is my favorite book of the Bible) he is talking to his individual son or daughter, and when he addresses Israel, he is talking to his people. In our case, the collective Body of Christ.
Jests reflects this passage in Luke l0:20 — our joy is in being HIS! (That is what I just wrote on my hand today: HIS!)

You amaze me, and then I realize it truly is the Holy Spirit speaking through you…it’s because of your authentic, one-on-one relationship with God. Not that age matters really, but I am 60 years old & totally astounded by what you say, how it ministers to me, and resonates with me. It blows my mind sometimes. God uses you more than you can possibly know! I also had similar issues in my life…I am so glad you openly talk about them as I kept them secret. I pray you will truly be able see the incredibly whole and complete person you are with God’s love & direction in your life. I really had to chuckle because you said you hadn’t been reading the Bible & then the Holy Spirit gave you this beautiful insight. Adele
