Yeah, um....this experience is already a bit painful. It's bringing worry and anxiousness and a little panic...Is that ok?!
Is that weird that not wearing make-up is bringing that up in me?
I look at other girls and wish I had their skin or their looks....
I have to keep telling myself to stop comparing...that is a HUGE problem for me.
Mirrors suck I've decided. I'm fine until I'm by one. Then I'm reminded and I frown...
Hopefully by the end of this, I will not even notice. I want to just be comfortable in my own skin!
Thank you Lord for my face :) For choosing for me to look the way I do. For a husband that tells me I'm beautiful no matter what.
Geeze, way to go world, making us girls CRAZY!
You have just described me today. I am feeling good, but I then pass by a mirror and see the reality that is my reflection. Every time I have left my desk today I am literally repeating these words, "I am beautiful. I am loved. Lord, let me know that in the depths of my soul." I love you and see the beauty in your smile and the kindness in your eyes. I will pray that you get to see it too.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, darlin! It takes me a few days in a row of not wearing makeup to stop feeling super self-conscious about it. I hate the feeling that just to leave the house I should put on makeup - it is so not true and a lie that women in our culture believe. We are beautiful because we are made by God, not because we spent 15 minutes putting makeup on! Let His light shine through you! xoxo
ReplyDeleteBe thankful you have a beautiful smile. Living with the effects of Bell's Palsy has made me dislike mirrors too... and i already didn't wear makeup. I have learned to thank the Lord for the life I have, and even despite my insecurities about my face, He has so much better for me than I could have planned.
