You're Special. In a Good Way!

Because You are Worth It!!!!!

Ok, this isn't an ad for L'Oreal.

What this is - is a moment where God shook me

and my crazy brain out of the hands of Satan

and put me back on solid ground.

The mind truly is a battlefied and we have victory! Hello??!!!

1Corinthians 15:57 says, " But thanks be to God,

who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ".

I was having a struggle over some pretty trivial stuff

the other day and had to make a choice.

My first instinct was to put off my things until I'd

gotten everyone else taken care of.

The only problem with that is one of the things

I kept putting off, actually

affects everyone in my household!!!

God had to show me that I am worth putting me first sometimes. Especially when it benefits others.

And then He had to give me a big push into looking

at the situation like He does.

SO, for the next week I will be posting a series entitled,

"You're Special. In a Good Way!"

L'Oreal probably wouldn't like me using their catch phrase,

Because you're worth it.

So, "You're Special. In a Good Way!" is what we'll go with and it's so much more fitting for us anyway. LOL

Definitely come back every day this week to find out...

Who's Awesome???!!!!

ps. isn't that puppy too cute?

I had to use him. hehehehe

Beauty and the Bible

Psalm 149:4 For the Lord takes pleasure in His people; He will beautify the humble with salvation. "He will beautify the humble with salvation"~~ If God were my Rachel Zoe, my own personal stylist, He would first choose to clothe me in salvation. "..Clothe me in salvation". Before He can do this He has to get me ready for my style session. This takes a bit of planning and thought. God must set the stage, so to speak. A good stylist plans, prepares, gathers needed material, and gets a full vision for the overall and complete look. In this case, I was so unattractive or plainly said, ugly as sin or maybe better to say "ugly with sin". This sin is so ugly that He cannot even look on me. If we started here God wouldn't even be able to take my measurements. God cannot be with sin. He sees this as a problem that must be fixed. We've got to wash sin away. The sin must go before anything can be done. As you've seen on What Not To Wear ...

Beauty & the Bible The Collection pt 4: "Ocean"

Moving on. If you're new to the blog, PLEASE go back and read the 3 previous entries. I know it'll be worth it. And thanks, I'm glad you're here! As a recap, I'm imagining God as my personal stylist. I've tried on 3 looks so far during my style session. You've got to read all about it. "Salvation", "Active Wear", and "Fierce". All very different looks but equally essential parts of this collection. As I look around for my next look I feel God going in a very different direction. A bit more serene. --I've been saved---I'm running here, there, and everywhere---I've even done some spriritual battle. But I can feel a draw that is pulling me to an outfit that's not so much for show but more for a comfortable, sweet, bonding time. I can't help but think of white, light, gauzy like material. So of course I imagine that God has planted me on the beach. In the late afternoon I can feel the light warmth ...

Ya think??

I have the BEST Mama in the world. Like for real - ya'll. No joke. She's like the bomb-diggity. And whether or not you use that term doesn't matter because my Mama seriously is that . She has patience that I can only hope for. She has an ability to think things and NOT say them. She may forget to get the rolls out of the oven for dinner; but I forget to BUY the rolls in the first place. She loves helping people anyway she can. She goes WAY out of her way to help people. It's amazing. And she' not going to tell you about it either. Oh my friends, God made her good. So I tell you that to tell you about a card she gave me for my birthday this last year. I was turning 43. (* Eeegads *) But the age is not important. She gave me this card like I'm sure so many of you have seen before. A card with all of these attributes that I'm supposed to have. Well, for some reason it struck me ...
