This month the Lord is really doing a work in my heart about what being "beautiful" really means. Here are some things I've decided…

Beauty is not seeing myself in a mirror for an entire month

Beauty is not wearing even the slightest bit of make up for an entire month

Beauty is the horrible heat rash I have on my shoulders that looks like really bad acne from working countless hours on a Mozambiquan farm

 


Beauty is embracing my flat chest that I have “developed” (interesting word choice?) while on the World Race

Beauty is modesty

Beauty is the 5 women on my team who embody what it means to be a Godly woman and strive for it more and more

 

Beauty is confessing our junk

Beauty is not buying jewelry or clothes to make myself feel feminine but embracing the innate femininity I have within

Beauty is blistered hands

Beauty is wearing the same 3 outfits every day for a month because I don’t need my outfit to inspire my own confidence

Beauty is strength

Beauty is loving well

Beauty is honesty

Beauty is letting each other know when your zit is ready to be popped or if you have something in your teeth because you don’t have a mirror

Beauty is farmers tan

Beauty is dirt under your nails

Beauty is simplicity

Beauty is a willing heart and willing hands
 
 

“Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.” – Proverbs 31:30
