beauty.

could it really be a whole month since i checked this? wow. i have a ton of blogs to catch up on with my friends and family.

anywhooo I just started reading captivating. A quick clip i wanted to share.

"Every woman has a beauty to unveil. Every woman. Because she bears the image of God. She doesn't have to conjure it, go get it from a salon, have plastic surgury or breast implants. No, beauty is an essence that is given to every woman at her creation."

"We didnt say that a woman is prized only for her good looks. We did not say that a woman is here merely to complete a man, therefore a single women is somehow missing her destiny. What we said was, first, that Eve is the crown of creation. There is something uniquely magnificent and powerful about a woman. We tried to reveal the immeasureable dignity, the holiness of your feminine heart by showing that it is GOD who longs for romance, it is GOD who longs to be our ezer, it is GOD who reveals beauty as essential to live. You are the image bearer of this God. That is why you long for those things too.. THERE IS A RADIANCE HIDDEN IN YOUR HEART THAT THE WORLD DESPERATELY NEEDS."

Kabam.

I am beautiful. You are beautiful. The world desperately needs our beauty.

BAPTIZIM! :)

Last night, I was baptized in the name of the Father, the son, the holy spirit by one of my best friends Katie Sweeney.

Words really cannot even come close to describe my emotions, thoughts, feelings and so on... 7 people including myself were baptized last night at the last Younglife Leadership meeting. Praise God!

What an amazing feeling to witness Christ in so many people...not only could I feel Christ, but I could see Him pouring out of the eyes and smiles of the baptizimers. Love was truely evident last night.

I stand by what I said last night, too long I have been talking the talk...I want to walk the walk.

God gave me life. And I will live my life for you.
