Project 31: Seek to Find
----- jaded beauty, has the world's definition of beauty ever jaded you? -----
Beauty by the world's standards is aquatinted with outward appearance. There is a constant pressure to look your best, to the extent of losing yourself, becoming artificial, achieving artificially beautiful.
If everyone is striving for this 'beauty' is it real beauty?
We cover ourselves in paint hoping to find beauty, what we need to do is start unpeeling all the layers of artificial to find the true beauty.
Although culture tells us beauty is all about looks, it's not. Beauty is sun kissed checks. Eyes dancing with happiness. Laughing so hard, you start crying. Beauty is unique imperfection. Beauty is authentic. Everyone doesn't posses the same type of beauty, but still beauty none the less.

Beautiful
what is true beauty?
Does it come from layers upon layer of makeup?
Does it come from guys liking you?
Where does it come from?
No matter how beautiful you look on the outside
you can be ugly inside.
No one can tell until they start to truly know you.
Before you know it, the person you've tried
so hard to please, moves on
cause they have seen the true you.
cause they have seen the true you.
You don't understand
your makeup is flawless,
every single strand of hair is in place.
You are beautiful, so you think.
But people see the way you treat people.
The way you poke fun at others,
the way you parade yourself around like something special
They see what is inside;
you try to hide it, but you can't.
If you spent as much time as you spend perfecting yourself
as you did within the Word, learning
the ways of the Creator.
Maybe, just maybe then you would be
Beautiful.

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.
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.

Inspired beauty, found in Uganda
To me beauty is following the dream God has placed inside your soul. Katie Davis did just that.
God provided her with something amazing and she accepted. She radiates beauty, the beauty of Christ. She started Amazima ministries, a non-profit organization that creates sponsorships for the local children, they currently have 400 children in their sponsorship program. 1,200 children getting food Monday thru Friday with food sent home for dinner. This allows the children to attend school and get off the streets.
God was able to accomplish all of this through a young woman, her loving heart, and willing soul.
Katie Davis is a young woman in her early 20s who lives in Uganda and is the mother to 14 young orphaned girls who know know what it is to have a mother and a place to call home.
True beauty comes when you place yourself outside of your comfort zone and allow God to fully work through your life. Katie did and it's an amazing journey. Katie's blog worth checking out.

What does beauty mean to me.
Beauty. Something every girl longs to look and feel. We try to measure up to the world's standards of artificial beauty but really we have it all wrong. We look at the outside, but really we should be looking at the heart.
To me, beauty is what is in the inside. The character of someone is their true beauty. The way they treat people when no one is looking. The way they go that extra measure to serve someone. Or the note of encouragement they drop to someone in need. These are the characteristics of true beauty. It comes from within and resonates out. True beauty.
