Don't you hate the mirrors at Target...

Recently, I thought I would brave the "searching for a perfect bathing suit" adventure.  You know, the bathing suit that makes me "look like a size 0, covers all flaws, and makes you look so much better than you feel" bathing suit.  My first stop in this noble endeavor was Target, because they have cute suits and most importantly they're cheap!  Unfortunately, this was NOT the wisest choice for a first stop..  I think you'll agree with me...the dressing room mirrors at target are VERY "unforgiving"!  AND the lighting is just as bad!  By the time I had tried on the second suit, I had determined I should NOT be seen in public with anything that resembled a bathing suit. (where were those ones from the 1920's that covered a WHOLE lot more cellulite? lol)  I unconsiously found myself going down the slippery slope of letting THAT mirror reflect who I really was - not only as a swimsuit model, but as a person, as a mother...you get the picture...if you'll let it, you can just keep going down hill. 

In that moment I had the choice as to WHAT I was going to "use" as a mirror to reflect who I really am. 

"And all of us, as with unveiled face, [because we] continued to behold [in the Word of God] as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are constantly being transfigured into His very own image in ever increasing splendor and from one degree of glory to another; [for this comes] from the Lord [Who is] the Spirit." 2 cor 3:18

I chose to use the word of God as my mirror...because guess what? When I do that, I am constantly being CHANGED into the image of what I REFLECT on!  It's a simple yet HUGE revelation if you can get it.  It's time to STOP letting OTHER things, people, conceptions and  standards dictate our IMAGE.   CHOOSE to look into what God says about you, meditate on it, and let THAT reflection be what you see...becuase ultimately you are CHANGED into that image daily!!!

What mirror are YOU looking at?

love you precious ones!
