What is one thing you struggle with when you’re wearing no makeup, working in the dirt, wearing the same clothes over and over again and getting looked at everywhere you go because you look so different from everyone else? THE TRUTH! I have been struggling with lies about who I am and my beauty. This is something that happens to most racers and it is 100% normal! I keep telling my team “it’s going to be so weird when we go back to the states and we don’t get looked at or honked at everywhere we go lol!”. Everyday, I am reminded of how beautiful I am inside and out not only by my house mates, but by the little girls I have the privilege to see every week! One little girl named Ester who is 12 came up to me the other day and said “bruidny(that’s how they spell my name! So precious), you are so pretty.” I almost cried it made me feel so good. I know that God sent her to tell me that! Truth is, I know God’s truth and I know my worth, but sometimes it is just difficult to really believe it. I’ve been reading psalms 139 every morning and it reminds me everyday my worth, and I am so grateful for that! For any future racers, current racers, women or anyone reading this, Know you’re so beautiful and so loved by the one who created you. I will be praying everyday for the world to someday not just know, but believe God’s truth versus everyone else’s!
