Jaded Beauty

Beauty.  At such a young age the worlds starts feeding us the lies that we must look, wear and act a certain way to be beautiful.  I remember playing with my Barbie dolls are seriously thinking that I would someday, end up like that.  Boyfriend and a size zero waist.  Need less to say I was mistaken.


Beauty found in what He created for us.


The world tells us girls, that if we don't have a boyfriend there's something wrong with us.  To me personally this has been a real struggle this past year.  The world says girls my age should have a 'significant other' and right at that moment I feel the wicked whispers slowly slipping into my head, you're not good enough, you're not beautiful that's why guys don't pay attention to you or like you. 

I've really had to wrestle with that this past year, realizing that my true identity isn't in if I have a boyfriend or not.  But my relationship with my Savior.  God has been showing me that I'm beautiful to Him.  If I focus on Him  I'm right where I'm supposed to be.  In love with God and no other. 

A woman's heart should be so lost in God, that a man must seek Him in order to find her.  That is what I'm after.
