a woman of SUBSTANCE ♥

With all the angst over a few lines on my face, I have to admit that I'm also embracing all the good stuff that comes with age. There's actually a lot to celebrate. I have gradually felt myself feeling more comfortable in my own skin. Although I strive to make my words godly, I also feel bolder and more empowered to stand up and speak up. I've increasingly realized that although I have nothing to offer, Jesus in me has everything to offer. I'm relishing becoming the older woman who knows a little bit about the world, mothering, pursuing a passion and cultivating a walk with God.

My outward body may be deteriorating little by little every year (hehehe and not everyday) , but I know that running hard on the heels of Jesus will keep me spiritually fit and beautiful. I can raise the roof in each year as long as my image is more closely matching His image.

I see the stretch of the years in front of me as the stretch to truly begin looking more like Jesus. It's the stretch where, if I do it right, the outside matters less and less. The world is less and less attractive. Heaven becomes more and more my home. My character is more and more submitted to Jesus, and my final destination is in sight. I may decide to apply specialized creams to my face and make my hair blonde to make myself pretty outside, but the increase in years is worth it to gain from God the things I need to be a WOMAN OF SUBSTANCE!

Blessings ♥

Honey, you ARE a woman of substance!


Live like there's no tomorrow
Laugh when you feel like crying
Love like you've never been hurt
