Today was supposed to be the second day of classes, but because of the weather we had a snow day. Too bad, I totally wish I could have been in classes all day (please take note of my sarcasm).
Because of the glorious snow day, I slept in and became a complete couch potato. I watched the complete first season of Glee and don’t regret a single minute of it. After I was done with mindlessly watching television I decided to read a little bit of the book called “Captivating: Unveiling the Mystery of a Woman’s Soul“. At the end of the day I love reading and spending time with God. I’ve just started this book but so far it is awesome and I totally recommend it. My God moment of the day came when I was reading this book tonight. The beginning of one of the chapters had this verse: “The King is enthralled by your beauty” Psalm 45:11. Wow. I mean, what else is there to say?
I have gotten in the habit of writing bible verses on my bathroom mirror so I can remind myself of God’s love everyday and to bring me a little encouragement. After I read the verse from Psalm I decided to write it on my mirror. After I wrote it, I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and just started laughing. Because its a snow day and I’ve just been sitting in my apartment with my roommates not trying to impress anyone, I didn’t shower today….don’t be grossed out. I know at least 1 of you who read this did the same thing. Anyways, I started laughing because I was thinking to myself…”God is enthralled, awestruck, amazed by my beauty right now. I haven’t showered or brushed my hair all day, I have no makeup on and I’m still in my p.j’s…and he is enthralled by my beauty?!” This was such an amazing thing for me to realize. Girls, never lose sight of how beautiful each one of you are. We are made in the image of God…how could we not be beautiful? I hope each one of you remembers this verse; maybe you’ll even write it on your bathroom mirror! Look at it every morning when you first wake up and know that even then, when you’re first waking up and your hair is a mess and you’ve got no makeup on that God thinks you are so gorgeous and so amazingly beautiful.
I will be the first to tell someone that I don’t always think I’m beautiful…a lot of times I haven’t even thought I was “cute”, but every now and then God gives you a little reminder. Even on snow days.
