Recently I was watching the Academy Award winning movie Frozen and fell in love with the part where they show Anna early in the morning looking like what every girl looks like in the morning... crazy. Inspired by this seen, and the fact that Disney is finally showed parts of what women really are like, I challenged me to take pictures of myself every morning for a week. Now these pictures are not easy for me to put on the blog, but they are important and beautiful. It is important that we as women step up and redefine what is beautiful. We need to change the definition of what Hollywood sets as beautiful and find beauty in what we see everyday in the mirror. We can do this simply by loving who we are and not what we think we need to be.
So here you go... This is me and what I look like every morning when I wake up:
1 Peter 3:3-4
"Do not let your adorning be external—the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear— but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious."
Proverbs 3:15-18
"She is more precious than jewels, and nothing you desire can compare with her. Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor. Her ways are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to those who lay hold of her; those who hold her fast are called blessed."
You are beautiful and don't let anyone tell you different.
Love always,
Mel
