Mystique — air or attitude of mystery and reverence, an aura of heightened value or interest, inner confidence
There are four elements of mystique: Assurance, Advance, Appearance, and Attitude
Sandy spoke to us about these four different areas and how they help shape us into the women God designed us to be.  But before she started she said something that hit me hard, “Understand with your Heart how much God loves you.� Growing up in a christian home I knew what the bible said about God loving me. He sent his son to die for my sins so that one day I will be able see him in heaven. That is what I know, but that does not say anything about my heart.
Assurance: Knowing that God love me and believing that I have tremendous worth in his eyes.
There are three things that I have to do to overcome the tendency to define myself by others standards rather than God’s.
               Forgive the people who have hurt me in my life
               Recall God’s Faithfulness
               Speak words of faith Out Loud
Only by running to God will I really define myself.
Advance: Fulfill the plans the Lord has designed specifically for me. Romans 12:2Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.
               What is right in front of me to do?
               What am I passionate about?
               What gifts has God given me?
Want help defining or discovering your passion? www.kingdom-dreams.org may be just what you are looking for.
Appearance: Find my best look. Why try so hard to fit in when I was meant to stand out.
For me this is one of the hardest challenges, but as time has gone by I do find myself coming into my own. Work at becoming the best version of myself.
               What words would I use to describe my style?
The first thing that came to mind was comfort. That is only half of it though. What kind of comfort do I want to be, that is me? Is there a season, color, style that is me? Elegant, urban, rustic, bohemian, retro?
And yes it is totally fine to wear makeup, but remember to do it right. All of us are unique in our coloring and what is “in� may not be good on. Lucky for us there are experts out there to help, use it. That is however not saying that you have to wear any. I am the first to clam ignorance in the area all together but that is me. What is you?
Attitude: Improve my relationships through positive attitude.
               Discretion — If I wouldn’t want it said about me then don’t say it about another. Be mindful of others
                                      suffering.
               Encouragement — When I give, I will receive.
What must be taught to various groups, Titus 2.
