Truth: Who am I?

I am deeply loved by God, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, powerfully equipped, totally accepted and complete in Christ.

Scared

In our growth groups this week we talked about confession and how we are supposed to confess our sins to God, but also to other Christians. Along with this, I'm currently am writing a paper for a class about how the bible applies to my life, and subsequently how I have sinned and how Christ has changed that in my life.

Honestly, confession scares me. I'm supposed to have a spiritual mentor read and give me feedback on my paper, and this scares me even more. I really want to be honest in my paper and with people, but the idea of confessing makes me feel super vulnerable. I don't want people to see me differently, over-react, or try to fix me.  My fear almost makes me want to edit out parts of my paper so I don't have to confess them. Yet, at the same time it gives me an opportunity to confess to someone. I'm not sure yet if I'll chicken out yet.
