Girls, you are beautiful.

Hey girls,

I've got a thought for you.. instead of thinking about your "faults" negatively. Look at them in a more postive light.

Instead of: "I hate my freckles/curves/eyes/hair/etc."
Realize: "My husband is attracted to my freckles/curves/eyes/hair/etc."

Because we are created perfectly in the site of God.. not only does our looks fit who we are and our lifestyle, but it also fits who God's made us for.

Isn't it amazing how intricate God really is? He is our perfect potter, we're just clay in His hand; yet He looks upon us and says: beautiful.

Get Desperate

It's time to get desperate. It's time to get extreme. To DIG IN to our prayer lives and the Word of God. To further our relationship with Jesus. He's not our buddy ol' pal.. He is our bridegroom, take it seriously. If you weren't giving all out for your future spouse they wouldn't take you seriously on wanting to be married.

God's on the move. I've been saying this since the start of 2011, He's making changes; He's pruning His garden. If we don't get desperate then we're going to be spit out (Rev3:16). I dont just mean in our prayer lives either..if you want to be saved then God's going to call you out on it and you have to be serious to take that call.

Noah was a man of God. he built an ark in the middle of the desert because he was serious; if he hadn't been then he would've been drowned out in the judgment along with the very people who picked fun at his desperation.

How serious are we? We need to decide now.

Attitude

Attitude, to me, is more important than the facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than success, than what other people say and do. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill. It will make or break a company, a church, a home. I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you. We are in charge of our attitudes. -Charles Swindoll

This is so true. We are called as discples of Christ to hold onto a thankful heart no matter what is going on in life.

Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. -1 Thess. 5:16-18 (NKJV)

Start this morning with a thankful heart and continue to let your heart be open to the daily blessings and praise God for them throughout the day! It could change your outlook, and your attitude.
