I have been thinking on what my last post will be about before I go into surgery tomorrow. The 2 things I am most passionate about in life are God and truth about the beauty of women. I decided to go with beauty on this one. I don't think enough women know how beautiful they are and it is my hope that all women would know.
I'm going to be super duper candid, K? :)
Please click here to read Part 1 first.
Continuing from my last post on the beauty of a woman, yes, a physically beautiful woman makes a man's head turn. That is how God created men to be. It's natural for them. But there is a difference between appreciating the beauty of a woman and disrespecting the beauty of a woman. That's where I think both men AND women are getting things messed up in the world today.
I have done enough research to know that all lady parts are beautiful in the eyes of a man. You do not have to look like the girl in the magazine to be a desirable woman. Confidence in your own beauty that God gave you is BEAUTIFUL to a man. We all have physical features that would knock a guys socks off. Add to that the compassionate heart of a woman... BAM! Soooo beautiful!!
To those of you that have husbands: Get confident in your beauty, and show that man what you're made of! :) To those of you still looking: Get confident in your beauty, and have high expectations because you deserve the best. Don't settle for less. You are BEAUTIFUL!!Women have a natural desire to be beautiful. And that is perfectly healthy. So take care of the beauty God gave you. Celebrate it in whatever way you want to: makeup, hair do's, great clothes, jewelry, whatever. Don't depend on these things but be proud of who you are! And again, please DON'T compare yourself to the girls on the magazines. They make up 3% of the world. And we make up the rest. ;)
(Pet peeve: When people look at the girls in the magazines and say "she's too skinny". ACTUALLY, she is beautiful too!!)
These are just things that I have been happy to learn in the last few years. Women are beautiful. They are here to compliment men (not serve them - yeah, I went there!). We are to come along side them, team up with them, and enjoy their strengths together with our strengths. What a beautiful thought to actually enjoy each other and respect each other by helping each other be the best we can be rather than seduce and disrespect!!
Day 14 of the fast: Really! This day has come? I did it. I'm 12 lbs down in 2 weeks.
Something dawned on me yesterday. I WILL NOT be able to eat comfort food anymore. This hit me with a vengeance. I was told that I would go through a mourning period. I think I'm in it. I have been having a huge love affair with food (mostly chocolate) my whole life. WHAT will I go to for comfort now?! I know what I want the answer to that to be: God. And not everyone will understand that. But will I actually turn to Him every time. Or will I find another addiction. I think we all have addictions. It's REALLY hard to deal with addiction. My mind is working though that part of it right now.
GOOD BYE FOR NOW.
With that I am off. I have surgery at 10:45 tomorrow morning. Please send prayers and happy thoughts. I'll be back with an update when I can.
xoxo
