I look Good...

Is it ok to say that? I think it is...
I think that we have to figure out how to have a positive healthy self image. We have to find out how to see ourselves in a way that gives us confidence and authority. We can all do something about our self image... We can loose weight/ gain weight, Get a better hair cut, buy some clothes that fit, or just go out and get a picture of you that looks good and look at it until you believe it.
I grew up with a very negative self image. I saw myself as fat, stupid and clumsy. I don't deal with that anymore. Not because I grew out of it. I worked really hard at breaking out of those lies... I talked with some people and processed it, I prayed through my insecurities and have come out the other side (losing 30 pounds helps too!!!!). I realized that God made me different than i saw myself and that I should be more interested in his picture of me than my picture of myself.
I still feel insecure at times but now it is about different things than how I look and my weight. Now it is about the bigness of the dreams and visions God has given me. It is now an insecurity like many biblical characters have. I feel under prepared for the task God has called me too. I wouldn't have it any other way because Now in my weakness God gets the credit.
In celebration of feeling good about myself. I saw this picture of me and really liked it. I thought I would share it with you. Do you have a picture you really like of yourself? How often do you let it remind you that you look GOOD? What would it take for you to feel that way everyday?
