Pretty Woman

I thought "beautiful" was out of reach for an average woman like me. Or was it?

This is a wonderful article-- and I recommend Lisa Bevere's book "You Are Not What You Weigh" to anyone feeling this way. It has changed my life-- all 5 feet, 1 1/2 inches, size 18 of it.

I really wish I had a magic wand that could remove the "beauty" problem. We are all so insecure in our physical bodies and I will be the first to admit that at 50, I still worry about how I look, my hair color-or more exactly-how much of the gray color etc. And my heart aches for our daughters and grand daughters-to be slightly over weight, to be ordinary in a media saturated world of unbelieveable beautiful skinny women, to constantly be "ashamed" of how we look. I would like to place a sabbath rest for a year for women from thinking about, worrying about, planning for, and shopping for their physical lives. Instead, write, paint, play, swim, cook, bake cookies, sing, play the piano, write a worship song, a poem, start a business, enjoy. Is that possible?

Arrived just in time! I was so down on myself but this article has given me a fresh set of eyes to see myself. I thank God for who I am and the gifts He has blessed me with.
