I’ve been in relationships where I was loved based off of my image, and my beauty and just my looks in general. It irritates me to the core of my being to know that I let someone tell me that I needed to look a certain way in order to be loved and accepted. I never struggled with my self image until I allowed guys tell fill my head with lies about my looks. It hurts me to even be at a place in my life where I’ve been focusing on my image, and how often I need to go to the gym, and having to think about what I want to eat. I don’t care anymore. Yes I will take care of myself, and always put in effort to look and be at my best. But regardless, I’m happy and very satisfied with the way I look. Tho I am 20 lbs more than I was in high school 3 years ago, I still love the way I look. I refuse to base my life off of who I will marry and whether or not they will accept me as I am.
My life is based off of my firm foundation and identity in Christ. I will die in Christ. My life is for Christ. That’s it. It’s all about Jesus. Looks and beauty fade away before a blink of an eye.
For 2 years I lived my Christian life to get approval from my other Christian friends. The only thing I gained was a bigger insecurity of approval or people and an empty heart.
God has completely broken me these past 2 months and my heart couldn’t be more full. I now strive for Christ as my satisfaction and completion. #full #chasing #inlove
Am I perfect? No. But I strive to be so full of Jesus it bubbles over. #myprayer #OnlyJesus
Unka Glen: The opinions of people, and other worthless things
iwastoldbyjesusallwaswell asked: How do I stop being so concerned with what others say and think of me? I know that the only affirmation or criticism that really matters is that of Christ, but I seem to take a whole lot of stock in that of people, especially people whose opinions should…
I just wonder what it would do in your heart and your mind if you really believed that God delighted in you.
Even if my father and mother abandon me, the LORD will hold me close.

Dear Future Hubbs;
Prepare yourself for all my amazingly random horrible corny jokes, prepare to LAUGH for days because I’m quite hilariousss if I may say so. I hope you’re hilarious as well because I laugh at just about everything. :)
Life lessons.
Truths I’ve been learning the past couple of months:
1. Anything we put before God, he will take it away. Nothing deserves to be above Him.
2. Our life literally isn’t anything but a vapor. We live, then we die. The only thing that counts is what we do for God.
3. I need to live my life to make it count for something, because each day, and all the little things I do each day add up to my lifetime.
4. Smile and laugh as much as possible, because we’ll always have problems and sometimes tragedies.
5. Don’t sit around and wait for sunny days, learn to dance in the rain.
6. In everything we do, we should always keep on mind on eternity. That’s the only thing that lasts forever. We should lives our lives for such a time as that.
When you take a good thing and make it an ultimate thing. You have ensured that thing will drive you into the ground. You can make the ultimate goal of your life wealth. And you can spend all your time on it, and you can accumulate it, and you can buy a house that you rarely get to go into because you’re working 15 hour days and you can accumulate a massive fortune but in the end you’re going to be painted up like a clown, put in a box, and buried. Vanity.

It’s mind boggling the way the Holy Spirit tells me something, then confirms it through someone else who doesn’t even know me! God is good!
