I can't believe it's the first of December!!!! This year has FLOWN by!!! I'm so ready for Christmas though! Our tree is up, the house is decorated beautifully, and I have all my Christmas music on my iPod.
I've been reading a book called, Redefining Beautiful. It's by Jenna Lucado and it got me thinking "What is my perception of beauty and of myself?" In the book, Jenna emphases that we girls need to see ourselves as God sees us, His beautiful princesses. He created us in His perfect image and has a plan for our lives. But first we need to submit our life to the Lord and give all our worries, insecurities, and problems to Him.
The king is enthralled by your beauty; honor him, for he is your lord. Psalm 45:11
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. Proverbs 31:30
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight.
1 Peter 3:3-4
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Jeremiah 29:11
I just thought I'd share that with y'all. : )

Cool post! And so true. God's idea of beautiful and society's is very different.
