Lately I've be really having trouble with self image and expression... I keep feeling as if people are not getting me. That all my work to show Christ through my life is not working...
Am I really as beautiful as people make me out to be? That has been a constant question.
After today... and being prayed for at our amazing church... called FIRE. :) I now realize that all those doubts and unsure questions are of the enemy! An that God is using me in ways and expressions already that I can't even fathom. Readers God has a destiny for you all we have to do is focus on him and pray an he will deliver you into your destiny. We just got to make him be first and foremost! I know its hard sometimes... I use to say "Yes God first!" but I was tempted... by the spirit of self gratification that is spreading over this generation. Here is a video I want to share:
Powerful video.. huh? I now am living full for Christ... no worries. :) Sadly I know some who are still looking to pop culture for fulfilment... I am being a friend to them and reaching out to them through my life by doing my best through Christ to be a example. That's what we have to be friends... we gotta love. :)
The Question..............
Girls I know its hard with people pounding on our door about fashion, how you look, culture constantly knocks at our door saying come on... that shirt isn't that low... or you look great walk out that door.. (us already falling into the first whisper.) Then if you say NO... culture beats you to a pulp. Trust me I know how it goes... Then when you try to stand again something else comes up. I know how important it is to be modest but yet I also know how important it is to look good for God. I use to be a fashion fanatic! Skinny jeans are in, I'm putting them on... that was me. I pushed the limits and made looking fashionable the prim to my looks. I wanted to be the most fashionable, I wanted to take the stage... all eyes on me, for my own gain. Girls its fine to be fashionable in a modest way. Lately, after a long while of thinking wearing pants was a literal sin and litrally fighting my own beliefs and trying to grab on to new ones with a legalistic spirit. I was wrong and I now know that pant/jeans are not bad as long as you wear them modestly. I definitly have to say pants can be a pain by modest standers, I feel I am constantly making sure my shirt is pulled down where with a skirt you don't really have the problem of your shirt riding up.
I am soon going to have a page on here how to dress modestly and fashionable... it is possible girls! :)
Another thing that was said over me at Church that I want to mention before I go into the next thing I want to say... is: "Let her be over taken by joy, let is be restored. Where ever she goes let them see the joy in her... let the joy in her make others joyful for you!" I have noticed I am alot more joyful lately and that even if something annoys me or I get frustrated... I always comes back to that joy!
