Hey! I am so glad Kylie asked me to write again for this issue! One of the things I am passionate about- besides my Family and Jesus- is beauty, but not just any beauty. I love to be the person who draws out the beauty of the inner woman! The one that is adorned with a quiet and gentle spirit. This is the ultimate goal I have for myself and my three girls.
I never want to take away from the character that is so precious and valuable that we each posses. This is what God desires to see in us more than anything. Often when we focus on our outward beauty it’s a reflection of maybe some stuff inside we don’t want to address. Growing up this was my life. I struggled so much with acne and oily skin and junky makeup options. I kept trying to cover up and make myself more attractive, more trendy, more desirable to my peers thinking that’s what would lead me to be accepted, but the truth is no matter how much makeup I wore my insecurity is what people saw.As I’ve gotten older the Lord has done a wonderful healing work in my heart and allowed me to be ok with how He created me. Do I still get insecure? Sure. But I don’t stay there. I don’t stay in that place of despair and sorrow. I remind myself that I am fearfully and wonderfully made and when Jesus looks at me He see’s no flaw in me.
