ok, friends.
i have been challenged.
i am going to embrace the camera.
just for today.
for now. :)
the picture below, i would have to say, is where i feel most comfortable with pics of myself.
i don't like being the main focus, or subject, and i never have.i am sort of {ok, honestly, majorly} self conscious, and having my children around me all the time takes the focus off of me.
isn't hank cute?
the very good news...
i know that i am God's child, created in His image.
He loves me the way that i am.
He knows the number of hairs that are on my head.
He knew me before i was even born.
He loves me with a love i cannot understand.
He died for me.
all of this is enough.
my hope, joy, confidence, should not be in things of this world, or even my family{especially not my looks}!
i have all that i need in Him. and that is where my confidence lies.
man, things are so much easier that way!
so, all this to say that i am going to be confident in who i am in Him.
because that's all that matters.
i may have acne or weird lines that i don't like.
my hair may look crazy and i may have gained 10 lbs.
but He doesn't care about any of that.
"...for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart."
1 Samuel 16:7
oh, yes.
an even bigger challenge.
God doesn't look at my outward appearance.
He looks at me and sees...
my heart.
now that's a whole other story.
and a whole other {several} posts.
so, here i go.
my head is even in it. woo!
i guess i got a little yappy about my insecurities today.
who knew i could have so much to say about learning to embrace photos of myself?
maybe you didn't really want to know and maybe you did.
i
how do you feel about the camera?
you are created in His image, too.
you are unique.
you are beautiful.
God loves you.
xo,
"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me."
