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!!!
