So last night I got all dolled up to go out on the town with two of my girlfriends, recently I have made a commitment to myself to not get "hammered drunk" whenever I go out. But nonetheless I still got all dolled up for the occasion. We went out and had a blast we took a ton of photos and it was ooh so fun. I was uploading these pictures to facebook today and felt mildly convicted. Even though I wasn't drunk I still looked like I was out partying like a rock star. Then I got to thinking, God knows my heart, he knows my actions, and he knows my lifestyle...who do I have to prove my faith to? We are all called to be great examples, ambassadors for Christ, and I get that I really do...but is it my fault if some look at my pictures with eyes of a Pharisee refusing to believe that I am a good person and I was just out having fun with my friends, no drunkenness involved. I believe I am my worst critic. In my eyes I will never be skinny enough, do enough good works, or amount to the woman I have full potential to be. I am deeply working on this, I am speaking Psalms 139:14 to myself daily. I removed several of the photos in fear that some might look upon them and judge, wow that makeup is too bright, that dress is too short, that smile too big. But you know what God made me in his image, I am not perfect and I will not be able to please everyone with my actions. I just hope people can see the genuine change I am progressively moving towards in my journey with him. I want to be an outward reflection of the joy within me because I am made whole in him!!!!!!!!!!
