Memoirs

Memoirs, as someone put it, are slices of life. They're just a small but significant portion of the whole story. And that's what this is -- snippets of my story.

In which we explore the attractiveness factor

Black and white. White and black. After 6 days of the black and white uniform I have to wear, it gets depressing. Hair up -- for SIX DAYS. Or maybe only 5 -- I don't remember. Updos are not particularly becoming to me. White makes me look like I'm about to die. I was convinced that I was horrendously ugly last night. (Thanks to Timmy taking a picture of me in my unniform.)

I have a day off for a change! I can try to be pretty today!

And I learned something. My issues with my uniform ARE fixable. First, ditch the uniform for something more becoming. Jeans and a sweater. MUCH BETTER! Then throw out the updo. Gel with a zig-zag part and a barrette on each side. I'm liking this . . . Then fix the ashen complexion with a little makeup, some mascara and lipstick and we're ready to go! Yay! Maybe I'm not ugly after all! :-)

    You are not ugly! Good realization!!
    Although I am no Christina fan, it seems an appropriate time for this:
    "You are beautiful/no matter what they say/words can't bring you down/you are beautiful/in every single way/yes, words can't bring you down"
    hee hee :)...sorry, couldn't resist...but u are beautiful :)!!

    We all have those days where we think we look ugly. Remember these verses (I put them on my bathroom mirror)
    "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you,
    Before you were born, I sanctified(1) you."-Jer. 1:5
    "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well." -Ps. 139:14. And since I'm a work of God, I am marvelous!
    "So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." -Gen 1:27
    "For the LORD does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." -1 Sam 16:17b
    "Charm is deceitful and beauty is passing, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised." Prov 31:30

    So, no matter how beautiful or ugly you may be (and we always perceive our appearance as uglier than we really are, so don't be so hard on yourself) you know what truly matters!...

    I didn't know you wore makeup! It's been too long, girl. Hey! Try to have someone take a nice (not silly) digital picture of you so you can email it to me, kay?

    (1) set you apart. I love this, cause it reminds me that I need to be set apart, different, peciliar. I believe God calls His people to a bit different standards. And that sets us apart!
