Who's Knocking at the Door?

       Those days when feelings and emotions come knocking loudly at the door....which ones do YOU let in?
       You know, I usually do not answer the door unless I know someone is coming over. I just do not trust opening the door. I guess I have seen too many news stories about home invasions and I don't want to take my chances. And I figure that if I know you, you have either been invited or you let me know you are coming to my house so I can make sure it is presentable as I see my home as a reflection on me. I think it's rude to just show up on someone's doorstep...but that's just me.  So why do I let threatening feelings into my home (my heart and mind) every time they knock on my door??!! 
       Insecurity comes knocking alot.  Maybe because it has been a familiar guest too many times and knows where you keep the key. It wants to come in and steal your confidence and your self-worth. It is an intruder and is not a good friend to let into your home. I have been a victim of this home invasion wayyyyy too many times and I know I must put a stop to it! It has stolen so much from me already, and now its time to take not just defensive, but offensive measures.  I saw that saying I posted above and it made me laugh (always a plus). But it made total sense to me.  Don't let insecurity come in so you can entertain it. And most certainly, do not give it it's own room so that it moves in to stay! Let it come in if you must, so you can understand it, but then poke it in the eye and tell it to leave!! I love that part. Insecurity has no place in my home. =)
