Open the latest issue of vogue or any other fashion magazine. What do you see? Super skinny models? Flawless complexions? Hair beyond perfection? Thought so. Now, how many of you just thought , "why can't I have that figure", "why doesn't my skin look that flawless", "why wont my hair curl like that?" My hand is defiantly raised high.
I have to admit, I've walked into school many of days having that "ugh" feeling and just looking at a girl and saying." I need that dress" or "I wish my hair looked like that." I USE to struggle with self consciousness on a daily basis. I didn't reach to an unhealthy point physically but mentally I did. I felt as If I could never look cute enough or be tan enough or small enough. Regardless how I looked I would find a flaw.
Thankfully, the day I got saved all that changed. I'm sure you don't believe it when people say you will be born again, but I'm here to tell you, you will. You will perceive yourself and others differently. I began recognizes my strengths and pointing out others too. I live a very healthy life style, I also have to for medical issues but it's not a worry to me anymore rather a good habit. I go to the gym daily and eat a healthy diet. My hair doesn't always fall perfectly in to place, sometimes it has a mind of its own! My skin doesn't appear as brilliant as Tyra banks. My wardrobe isn't one of London Tiptons. But, I'm not Tyra banks or London Tipton or anyone other than myself, the one God created me to be. He created me to be a little clumsy and clueless sometimes and ya know, I'm completely okay with that.
"little girl 15 flipping through a magazine says she wants to look that way but her hair isn't straight and her body isn't fake and she's always felt overweight. I can promise you theres a man whose love is true and will treat you like the jewel you are .But there could never be a more beautiful you, the hopes, the choices that you've been through. You were made to fill a purpose that only you can do. There could never be a more beautiful you."
