i don't know when the confidence that i felt in myself disappeared.
i don't know when i started telling myself that I was ugly.
it has always been a struggle to feel my self worth.
i wanted to be beautiful.
in my teenage eyes because i never went on dates
and the guys were mean to me
then that meant that i was ugly.
i have always struggled with my weight and believing i was beautiful the way i was.
my parents always told me i was... but it was hard to believe them
When i got my patriarchal blessing in it it told me that I was beautiful and the Lord thought i was beautiful.
That was amazing moment for me.
To know that my Father in Heaven thought I was beautiful.....
to know that He cared and knew how I was feeling, He knew what i needed.
He knew that this was something that I would struggle with my whole life.
He knew that this was something that I would struggle with my whole life.
I tried to trust Him.
but it was hard when the girl in the mirror was telling me something different.
when i met Neal i think that was the first time that I truly believed that i was beautiful.
being with Neal I believed that I was beautiful and I did not want to be anyone else
Neal hasn't changed his feelings for me but 3 kids and 20 or so pounds later I have a hard time believing it.
I want to look in the mirror and see a beautiful amazing woman.
I want to see myself as my Father in Heaven sees me...... Beautiful
I believe we are all beautiful.
no matter what the world says.
Who says extra weight is not beautiful?
Who says stretch marks is not beautiful?
Who says wrinkles is not beautiful?
Who says a big nose is not beautiful?
The Lord sees us on the inside.....
He sees the beauty we have with in us.
I want my daughter to believe she is beautiful.
I want her to see how beautiful she is and have that self worth.
I want her to know that beauty starts on the inside.
Everyday is struggle to feel that I am beautiful and worth something.
There are days when I feel like i am beautiful
and there are days when I feel so ugly no one should look at me
but then I have my son come up to me and say to me,
"mommy you look beautiful"
The Lord knows me
He knows my heart
He knows what I desire in this life.
I am worth something.
I am beautiful
We are beautiful!
You make me cry! All I can say is that if you weren't beautiful it wouldn't be possible for you to have had such perfect looking children!
ReplyDeleteJust keep telling yourself the truth until you yourself come to believe it, and then when you forget it on the hard days, tell yourself the truth again. You are beautiful. You are divinely created. You are HIS daughter. His beautiful child, and He wants you forever, just as you look, just as you are and you continue your pursuit of perfecting yourself through your Brother's Atonement.
ReplyDeleteYou are eternally Beautiful.
