beautiful

In 2011 I read a book by Beth Moore called So Long Insecurity and through it God transformed the way I view myself and the amount of insecurity present in my life. Don't get me wrong, insecurity rears its ugly head often (just ask my husband!), but much less often than before I read the book and allowed God to get ahold of me. This post is about His faithfulness to remind me where my worth is found and more specifically where my beauty is found. Please don't read this and feel the need to feel sorry for me or to feel the need to admonish my looks. God is taking care of that in His own way :) Earlier this week a student at the middle school I work in said something quite rude about me...my physical appearance to be more specific. I'm sad to say that I let it cut a little deeper than I would have ever thought or ever wanted. This little 7th grader had just straight up hurt my feelings and made me question myself. I felt my face get warm and I knew if I didn't watch it
