Two things God has taught me lately -

Live in the future. What's past is past; thank Him for it, enjoy the memories, and purpose to live life for today and rejoice in each day that God gives you.

I am not ugly, and I am beautiful because of Christ within me.
The other Wednesday I went to church on with practically no makeup. Just a touch of face powder to cover up some red spots from acne. No mascara, no blush, just lip balm and a little powder. I was SURE people were going to be saying, "OH you look so tired! Are you okay? Are you sick?!" But no one said a word. =P I actually looked just fine without any makeup on.
This past Sunday I looked pretty bad. My hair went totally flat, my makeup was weird, I had a couple of scabs on my face from some acne, it was just an off day. Normally I feel self-conscious and miserable, but I was like, "Ya know, Christ is my only true beauty, and I'm not ugly, even if I do look pretty bad. " So I just enjoyed my day and didn't worry about how I looked.
