Day 1 "You Are Beautiful"
Beauty among Beauty
Good Morning Beauties!
Welcome to Day 1 of our 40 Day Journey. Thank you for preparing for this adventure over the past three days. Please keep in mind the notes you wrote in your journal, as you will want to revisit them often.
The instructions for the journey process is simple. Start your time with prayer. Ask the Lord to free your mind of worldly issues so that you can be free to hear what He has to say. Relax. Listen to the song and allow His Truth to wash over you. Grab your journal. Write down answers to the questions and anything else you want - this journey experience is yours. Remember the artistic pages in the back of the journal for help in slowing your mind down and listening as you color.
Today, the Lord brought me back to my family role. We all have them. My older sister had the role of the Princess, so that left me with the role of Tomboy. I accepted my role and fulfilled it well. My Dad even gave me the nickname Poncho Pete, (a boy’s name.)
Recently, my brothers and I met back in Kansas where we grew up. It was interesting to go back with a fresh new lens. A lens of confidence and knowing who I really am … who He says I am. I no longer felt like an ugly girl, mistaken for a boy, but I felt like the beautiful woman God created me to be.
Please don’t misunderstand me, I believe beauty is at the core of who we ARE, not just what we look like. Acting out the role I was given did not allow me to be the beautiful person God intended. It’s taken a lot of time with God in prayer, in worship, and reading His Word to stop believing the lies of the enemy and to start believing God’s Truth. It’s a process. At times it’s painful and difficult, but in the end, walking in Truth and Freedom is glorious.
Quiet your mind and listen…what is God speaking to your heart about today? Selah.
Love and Blessings,
Kendra
“Now listen, daughter, pay attention, and forget about your past. Put behind you every attachment to the familiar, even those who once were close to you! For your royal Bridegroom is ravished by your beautiful brightness. Bow in reverence before him, for he is your Lord!”
