Beauty

Friends have finally convinced me to read Captivating by J and Stasi Elderidge (can't remember the guys name but he rode Wild at heart) and so far so good. It is awakening in me that realisation that it is good to be a woman. It is good to want to be beautiful inside and out. It's a lesson God taught me through Americans before and I think I have forgotten it a little. Feeling guilty for wanting to be feminine and wanting to follow fashion. I don't mean spending all my hard earned cash on thousands of shoes but enjoying clothes, make up. And also enjoying that feeling it can give you of feminity. And also enjoying and relishing in the fact that as a woman I oozes beauty from witin. Being reminded that beauty is two-fold inside and out.
My prayer for today is that all the women in my life enjoy God's investement in them and that their beauty is seen through spiritual eyes. That we would not be tempted to compare each other but rejoice in our uniqueness and beauty. That we would not be tempted to feel insecure or a lack of self worth but know that God himself has appointed us as co-heirs and beauties of creation. So you lovely ladies rejoice in all that is feminine for today. (I'm deliberately today leaving out the boys not because I don't love ya or you don't have an equal part to play but just because the ladies where on my heart this morning.)
