Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

I figured since this is what I changed my name to, I should dedicate a post to it for everyone to understand where it comes from.

I've been reading a book recently called "Captivating" and it talks a lot about a woman's soul and such. It's very poetic, but when it comes down to it the bible said it all first.

Sometimes, I think every woman...and man...everyone needs to be reminded that they are fearfully and wonderfully made. It's easy to look at yourself in the mirror and criticize what you see. Or if you make a mistake, become a little depressed because you didn't quite meet the standards. We all put expectations on ourselves to "try harder", "do better", "be the best you can be". We think we need to look a certain way, or act a certain way...I'm sorry though...I don't meet that mold. I am never going to be a size 2, I am never going to be out at the clubs, dating different guys, or even becoming a perfect little housewife who solves every problem, because that just is not me!!

But I don't have to worry about becoming something I'm not because I know that God made ME the way I am

Size 14
5'7"
size 9 feet
with brown hair
and blue eyes
a huge smile
a laugh that can sometimes sound like a Hyena
a girl who can be shy, but really loud at the same time
who loves kids
cries at the weirdest times
loves cartoons and disney movies
reads mysteries and romance books
is a little forgetful and late at times
Compassionate
will listen to you
is a shoulder to cry on
is not touchy touchy...but will give you a hug when it's needed
considers her friends a part of her family
loves to hang out with her family and friends....and watch a good movie
prays...especially when someone else needs it
loves to hear she is loved...
loves Jesus with all her heart
and loves others with that same heart

That's who I am...I'm sure there is much more to me, that I'm forgetting...lol. But that is the good, the bad, and the ugly for sure...It's still great to know that I'm fearfully and wonderfully made though!

Psalms 139

...I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well...
