“Mirror Mirror in the Wall what do I see? I see a face staring back at me.” I see clear brown eyes (tired from a long week teaching 17 four year olds), I see my floppy and scraggly brownish reddish hair that come to my shoulders, I see a thin smile (since I am NOT a morning person), I see a nose that isn’t the prettiest. I see my dad’s eyes and mom’s facial features.
And as I look in the mirror and cover the flaws I see with makeup and brush my scraggly straight (and sometimes “fluffy”) brown hair I see a face that God made. A face that God made unique because He loves me. I see a face that is not approved by man, but a face that God approves of. I see that I am “fearfully and wonderfully made” and think that there in no one just like me. I see a young woman who once was low on self-esteem and hated herself turn into a beautiful confident young lady who desires to serve the Lord.
But as I go places (Oh the places I will go) I hope and pray that people will not just see ME but will see Christ shining through me.
(well this was a hard one to write and I did it!)
