^{I resolve to love being me just the way God made me. 
God has definitely done some work here...have you ever looked around and wished you were someone else??? Looked like someone else, acted like someone else? As women I think we park here for sometime and dwell in who we wish God would have created us to be.  How many times have you tried to transform yourself? Made resolutions to be a different person? I can't count how many times I lost sight of who I was while trying to be someone I was not. God created us to be EXACTLY (yes flaws and all) who HE wants us to be. He can take even  the worst (or at least what we think is the worst) part of us and use it to bless those around us. I am walking proof of this my friends. I have always struggled with who I was (am). I wondered how one person could have so many flaws. How one girl could be so awkward, physically, socially and emotionally? I jumped from one thing to the next searching for a place to land, a place where I would not feel so out of place. Unfortunately, it was not not until my early thirties did I find this place. Looking back I realize now that God was preparing me for exactly what I am doing now. He knew all along what He was doing. My past is rocky, believe me, filled with so much I am not proud of, but God is finding a way to use each and every terrible things to bless those around me and through this I am finding healing and for the first time am not dictated by the mistakes of my past. As I move forward a more complete person comfortable with who I am I resolve to never again question the way God created me.}
 Ephesians 2:10 "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them."

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
and before you were born I consecrated you;
I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”

Application: Ask yourself how you could use the ugliness of your past to help those around you. 
Let's choose to accept ourselves exactly as God made us. 

Prayer: Dear father, throughout scripture you remind us that we were created just as you planned. Help each of us to accept ourselves just this way, flaws and all. I pray for any women reading this, that she may find peace in who she is. Amen
