Lately I've been struggling with my self image. I want to be thin and beautiful. I was told the other the day that I had a big, strong voice and that if I lost the majority of my weight, I could be a star. I thought about weight loss surgery. I've tried dieting before, and I can't seem to be able stick to it.
But something occured to me tonight. Me thinking that I'm fat and ugly is a total slap in God's face. He created me and I'm telling Him that His creation is ugly. I realized tonight that I've let my self image and all the stresses of life become my gods, and I've been putting the One True God on the back burner.
My goal is not to love myself or even to make myself loveable in my eyes. My eyes don't matter. I am loved unconditionally already. My desire is to give everything to God. All the stresses of school, and job-hunting, and losing weight are not my stresses anymore.

Go Mabry! You're such a beautiful person inside AND out! God made us all perfectly, but it doesn't mean that we can't and don't screw up what He gave us. Our job is to be good stewards of what God gives us. That includes money, jobs, personal possessions AND our bodies! It took me almost 40 years to learn that lesson. It's only taken you 18! I'm SO proud of you, Sweetie!!!
I am SO proud of you too Mabry! You put your relationship with Jesus first and all the rest will fall into place...
'Seek ye first His kingdom....'
GOOD FOR YOU!!!!!!!!!\
YOU'RE DA BOMB, GIRL! I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
