Psalm 139 and me (Part 1.5)

I wrote the first half of this blog about a year ago while I was away from home. It was a time in my life when I knew who I was in God, when I knew I was created with a purpose. I knew about the love that God had for ME. I knew that he thought I perfect just the way I am. And yet I struggled with who I saw myself as and who my friends saw me as.
As I write this, a year later, a year older. I’m still trying to fight off lies in my own life.
Yesterday a friend and I went to the mall and decided to try on glasses. I hated how I looked in them. Some girls put glasses on and they’re still so beautiful. I wish I liked myself in glasses.
I love encouraging girls, I love sharing the fact that we are fearfully and wonderfully made. What happens when I don’t believe it?
This is what I’m going to do.
I told myself that I’m going to be comfortable in my glasses. So, for the rest of the week, I’m wearing my glasses. I’m gonna throw this lie away, and switch it up for truth.
lie = I look ugly in glasses
truth = I'm fearfully wonderfully made.
What lie are YOU gonna throw away?
