I was reading through this and Bethany Dillon’s song came to mind. I was going to post the lyrics for you, but low and behold, you’re already aware of them. Of a woman calling to GOD for recognition of her beauty.

Have you read “Captivating” by John and Stasi Eldredge? If you haven’t, you really should. It’s all about how to fill the yearning for beauty (and all of those other womanly yearnings) with God. And how these feelings are not something to be ashamed of like the world would have us feel, but that they’re a mirror of the beauty of the Lord!

I’m so glad others feel this way. Your post and the book I’ve mentioned are helping me to realize that there’s no shame in my yearning to be beautiful, in my yearning to be womanly and romantic. These are gifts from God, a reflectin of God and I should exhude Him in all things I do.

Stacy, Just got a chance to read your blog and loved it. I like it when you get to share from the deep places of your own heart instead of always having to help others share from theirs. There is a minister to women in you – so let her out all the time! You are beautiful, my friend.

Five years ago this was a theme song at a young girls retreat I was blessed to be a part of. Since then, I think it has become a favorite of not just the young girls that were there – but ME, and the other women who joined me. We all had one of those “that’s me” moments when we heard it. It seems to be a deep cry in the heart of females. But your encouragement to have that cry draw us back to God himself was so good. So right on. Something I hope you can share with the young women around you, before they spend years hurting!

Stacy you don’t know me but I am a friend of your mother and she passed along your blog as she was so blessed and wanted to pass the blessing along : ) Don’t you just love how you can pour out to God and he moves circumstances to wash you with his love anew! I believe it is the Amish that don’t allow mirrors in their homes but you know what, sometimes a reflection can come by another person’s negative expression.. especially from someone you have not seen in a long while and they can’t hide their “look” when they see you and you’ve changed so much or just get caught out on one of your grubby days, no makeup etc. Now this is something not saved for only the young, you can have issues years down the road. Feel blessed you learned your lesson early. I never wanted to be someone else, I wanted to be me..the young pretty me but you can only fight time just so long, everyone has to deal with aging if they are blessed with a long journey here on earth. God spoke to me when reading your blog that he knew ME (and all of us) before we were born in the womb and we are wonderously made, when He sees us He sees Jesus, how beautiful is that!

Stacy this was so great! I remember about a year ago I was worshiping at home and singing along with Kari her song Beautiful to the Lord when He stopped me and said He wanted to sing it over me. I cried and cried as the song played and I dared to believe that my Father in heaven was singing the words to me.

Thank you for sharing this with me. Let me know if ya ever need to view yourself through my lenses. You’ll see the beautiful, smart, and strong woman that I see in you.

You are a brave woman and have blessed many with this post! Self-image and cultural brainwashing is something that is very near and dear to my heart; I blog about it often. I have a favorite scripture for this very thing: Genesis 3:11 “who told you that you were naked?” God is questioning Adam and Eve as to why they all of a sudden think they are not enough, have shame and guilt…and it is because they ate of the apple/listened to the world/looked in the wrong mirror! Thanks for your transparency and courage–it is refreshing!

Stacy, Your blog is so honest – I love it! It takes a lot of courage to be vulnerable. But, we can help a lot of people in our authenticity.
