Sunday Morning... Birds chirping... windows open ajar... the little things in life.... aaaahhhhh
Back in Business mode is still in affect. Woot Woot!
This past week I was able to get a pedicure.. hair cut and colored... new clothes... I'm a new woman! Or am I?
During my single years when I had money to burn apparently, lol ; pedicures... primping... new clothes were the regular. In hindsight I should have done a little less of that and a little more of paying off student loans but hindsight is always 20/20. Now the full spectrum of primping only happens about once a year.. tax return time. ha! I'm a girlie girl through and through. I gotta say there is nothing better than having your legs/feet massaged, cleaned and scrubbed. Well.. there are a few things better but that sure ranks up there on the list.
So I have focused a ton this week on the 'outer shell'. How does it affect my inner person?
Well.. it sure does make me happy. :) Clearly I know that these things are temporal but it is always a hard balance for me and a fine line to walk. I tend to focus too much on the outward. I love beauty. I know that the Lord gives us that desire to look on beautiful things because we are made in His image. I also know that the Lord says in 1 Samuel... Man looks at the outward appearance but the Lord looks at the heart. God cares more about my heart that my new pedicure. God cares more about my heart than my fabulous new hair color. He cares MORE about the heart but He does care about me in general and my overall self. Queen Esther in the bible was primped and oiled up but weeks on end I do believe. I'm sure she was given pedicures... massages and the like. As I get ready for church this morning I MUST focus on my heart MORE than I focus on putting on my new digs and making sure my hair looks perfect.
The past two days I have followed plan to a T. The scale says I am down again so we shall see tomorrow on Official Monday Weigh In.
I am not giving up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Forward
