Waking up for the day, I know you are there with me.. helping and encouraging me to wake up.. but i was too lazy and tired and am full of excuse and as a result I am late. Sorry.. don't mean to.. Continue to help me in your own ways.. i need you. Father take away this bad habit ..that i am in bondage for years so that i can be a blessing and not obstruct the traffice of life on earth.. and at the same time you give me a strong body.. Take away the cough and phlegms.. and tiredness in the morning.. Its your very nature to give and you are yes and amen.
Ready for the day, i aim to make the best and have joy.. was really enjoying my mp3 along the route to rp.. and soon i reached my destination and proceeded to scan my staff card for attendance..
There was this security guard who helped me with it and upon seeing my staff card picture he commented that i looked different from the photo and said that the picture was nice and now i had blemishes on my face.. perhaps he sounded innocent and harmless to what i felt or perhaps i have joy and confidence in me that was not easily being stolen away..
compared to the past.. imagine a vainpot like me would have given this security guard a sentence of hostility if it happens in the past year..
i used to be affected and doubt my attractiveness as a woman..and to a certain extent dignity of a woman..whenever people commented on the dreadful and disgusting blemishes.. still remember i stop talking to a handicaps colleague for 6 months and how my angry reaction was always immediate when i go through that.. Surprisingly today out of the norm, I can still smile at the security and not having a less of a joyful airene and still feeling attractive because i know i am beautiful in the sight of my creator..he says that i am fearfully and wonderfully made.. no 2 person are the same.. everyone are unique.. (God, you are great!! I am your masterpiece..so are everyone) I am comfortable being myself. (yes knowing my stubborn blemishes are still there but i have faith that it will be gone away one day!)
Consider the following because it is from the one who created you and this is what he defines beauty..
Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelery and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self , the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. (1 Peter 3: 3-5 )
I understand every man and woman wants to be beautiful including a vainpot like me.. put this verse in my blog not trying to discourage beauty routine (nevertheless it is still a good practice to take care of personal image and health!) but rather to encourage inside out beauty (for myself too!) and definition of beauty of God..which is by far more valuable as never will fade and can stood the test of time.. What beats it man..
take heart.. You are beautiful!
