I just have to share this amazing life changing book that I have been reading this past week and it is called Captivating, written by John and Stasi Eldredge. For those of you who are unfamiliar of what this book is about, it is written from a Christain mindset about how a woman is truly captivating even though she struggles with herself.
Quite honestly, I have struggled with my looks for years. I am hardly ever minutely satisfied with what I see in the mirror when I look at myself each morning. I blame myself for the fact that I am desperately single, and crave some sort of greater adventure in my life. The great thing about all these problems is that God helps us through every single one of them. We are all made in the image of God, so God treasures our exterior beauty even though he doesn't have too. God is constantly pursuing us, wanting a close relationship full of love.
At the end of it all, God doesn't care if I have a little bigger thighs or if my hair is perfect before my 8am class, God cares if I love him back. Jesus died for my sins and died so that I could have a relationship with God... I mean how cool is that??
It suddenly seems like maybe my looks don't matter too much, maybe a thigh gap isn't that big a deal. Its some pretty powerful stuff.
