today rebecca woke up and struggled with what to wear.
"i want to look as pretty as the gorgeous and glamorous movie stars," rebecca sighed.
that's when i shared with her the following verse.
today's verse is:
beckie's thoughts:
i am so fascinated with the beautiful rich and famous people that i forget sometimes that true beauty comes from inside. it's hard because everywhere you look girls are being told to wear such and such clothing to flatter your figure and be trendy; do this and that with your hair; be this size; use this make-up... etc. it's exhausting trying to keep up with it all. it comforted me to read I peter 3:3-4 because it reminded me that god doesn't need me to pretty on the outside. god wants me to be sure i create a beautiful person/spirit from within by being pure, kind, generous, loving, and sweet. come to think of it, some of the most beautiful people i know have these characteristics and that's what makes them so attractive. girls, when we ignore the ways of the world and follow god's path we will find so much peace and confidence in ourselves.
***in the first "beckie's bible verse of the week" i said i make these bible verse cards for myself and said you are welcome to save and print them so you can collect them in a bible verse box like me. here is the back (sorry about the glare) of this week's card. if you'd like to have it just print it with the front (above) then cut them out and glue them back to back.
