I Don’t Feel Beautiful

April 14, 2011 by Traci

I’ve always struggled with not feeling beautiful!  Most of my life I’ve felt akward, unproportioned, and unworthy.  But God says I’m the most beautiful person to Him; and SO ARE YOU! 

He didn’t make a mistake when he gave you that extra mole, that stocky build (when you’d rather be a size 4), or that goofy laugh.  He made you special… just the way you are!

Here, at Ordinary Inspirations, I feel passionate about promoting women’s health and beauty.  That is why, every Friday, I will be discussing a beauty tip (for your Inner and Outer beauty)!

INNER BEAUTY

Without being beautiful on the inside, we can’t fool anyone (at least not for very long) about our outward appearance. Psalm 139:23-24 says to examine ourselves before the Lord. Check in with Him daily. Read His Word. Memorize scripture. Pray. Confess your sin (1 John 1:9). Meditate on His truths. A guaranteed beauty tip!


PRAYER: “Dear Lord, help me to SHINE YOU, and not ME.  Help my very countenance reflect You, everyday.”

OUTER BEAUTY
PAMPER DAY – HAVE ONE!
Pick a day during the week to pamper yourself. It doesn’t have to be the same day each week. Do things throughout the day, as you have time. Maybe do some extra shaving, plucking, tweezing and clipping. Lotion your legs, arms, and face. Clip your toe nails. Scrub your feet. Lotion them and paint your nails.
After the kids go to bed, put on a nice, warm facial mask. Maybe take a bubble bath? It will rejuvenate you! Sometimes, I like to take a second shower at night, just so I can stay in there as long as I want, without being interrupted. I turn the water up really really WARM and stand under it, letting it run down my face. Haaaaaaaaaa!

Sometimes  we may think it is selfish to care about our outer beauty.  But guess what?  It’s not.  We need to do something special for ourselves every once in awhile.  It rejuvinates us as moms, wives, and women!

Go on… get your beauty on!  Don’t forget to check in the REAL MIRROR (God’s Word) first.

*** If you want, send me a jpg image of your beautifications!  I’d love to feature you in next Friday’s post!***
