Call Me Beautiful

What happens when someone says you are beautiful? (Okay this question is probably only for the ladies but men?  By all means answer if you feel the need!)  What happens when someone says it and you know they mean it?  Does it empower you?  Does it boost your confidence?  Does it put a spring in your step?  Does it make you believe that perhaps you are beautiful - inside and out? 
Ginny Owens, blind since the age of 3 because of a degenerative eye disease, sings about what happens when our Creator calls us beautiful.  When our Creator calls us beautiful it trumps any other time we've heard it.  When he calls us beautiful he is doing so seeing the very depths of us, all the nooks and crannies that we hide from others and even ourselves.  When he calls us a beautiful he does so through eyes that see all the knitting together (Psalm 139) that he did to create us.  He holds the definition of true beauty.  And he calls us beautiful according to that definition.  AMAZING. 
Ginny points out what God's affirmation of beautiful does for her - perhaps it does the same for you. 
"Welcome to your life."  Welcome to freedom, welcome to victory, welcome to joy, welcome to all that God holds for you because you believe you are beautiful.

The End of Affirmation 365

I've been thinking about it for over a month. Usually, when I'm in it I'm engaged. But this time? I started it indifferent and I've felt indifferent all along. I should have never started. Hindsight is 20/20 they say and they aren't wrong. So when I opened my eyes this morning it was clear. It's time. Time to quit this 365. This is the first 365 that I haven't posted several of the days, the first 365 that I wasn't super excited about, the first 365 that I've quit. I've changed my social media presence and interactions the past year so this is also the first 365 that hardly anyone has been interested in. Is it the topic or my decision to not be as accessible on social media? Or is it some other reason altogether? Well, regardless...I'm throwing in the towel on this one. I can't say if I'll ever do another 365 again. Time will tell and I will know if and when it's time.
