Mission Statement

Today, the world's perception of beauty is contorted in so many ways. Hair, make-up, figure, skin, clothes, and even talent skew the word "beauty" into an idol that only "the best" can touch. Sadly, we catch ourselves scrutinizing the girls on magazine covers in the grocery store, yearning to look like them. With their perfect skin, hair, make-up, and bodies, Hollywood stars make us completely insecure when it comes to our own images.

But let's take a reality check here. No one really looks like that! Sure, Hollywood's famous for their picture-perfect celebrities, but do you know what else they're known for? Photoshop.

Girls, we tear ourselves apart on a daily basis because we're unhappy with our appearances. Looking at the covers of Glamour and Seventeen usually brings our self-esteem down to zero percent.

But don't get me wrong --there's a bright side to this!

The Creator of the universe, our Heavenly Father, created us in His image. In Genesis 1, God deemed His creations "good." But you know what He said about man? About us? He said we were "very good." You are His ultimate creation! His crowning glory! God wouldn't have spent all that time creating you if He wasn't going to be satisfied with the result. In Ephesian's 2:10, it says that you are beautiful because you are God's masterpiece, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for you to do.

And not only did He create you--He has a plan for your life, too! Jeremiah 29:11 states, " 'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.' " Isn't that amazing to think about? He already has something wonderful, something amazing and beautiful and perfect, planned for your life. You just have to be ready, willing, to accept it.

The world may look at outward beauty, but God looks at inward beauty. He searches your heart and knows it, and longs for you to look at yourself the way He does. Why spend so much time trying to create a perfect outward image when you could be focusing on your inward self, the one that your Creator values higher than anything else?

My mission for this blog is to show girls of all ages that they are beautiful in God's eyes. That's all that really matters. You don't need Photoshop, plastic surgery, or the world's approval to be beautiful. A gentle and quiet spirit, the unfading beauty that it creates in your inner self--that is of great worth in God's sight.

"Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised." ~Proverbs 31:30
