my face....
this is a silly post, but these thoughts have been on my mind for several days.
my face has been so horrible lately and it seems that all i see when i look in the mirror is my flaws.
i have lived with nasty skin my entire life, but for some reason it has really bothered me lately.
i was sitting at work watching someone swim back and forth and the verse about being CREATED IN THE IMAGE OF GOD came to my head....and i began to ponder: I have been created in God's image, a perfect/spotless image, I am beautiful.
however, i have had such trouble accepting this today. i get bogged down every time i put on make-up and every time i pass a mirror my mind starts to judge and become jealous of those "more beautiful" than me.
my one wish today was to not have mirrors.
i pray that God really changes my heart and can help me see past the outer and relish in his beauty.
it's easy to be confident when you are surrounded by people that uplift you and remind you of God's beauty.
i am excited to be able to spend time with my girls (you know who you are) and just live in God's beauty...
THE KING IS ENTHRALLED BY YOUR BEAUTY, HONOR HIM FOR HE IS LORD - Psalm 45:11
May I be reminded of this every moment!!!

FAITH = Salvation
1 Peter 1:3-9
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade—kept in heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proved genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now, you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of your souls.
