This past weekend I went on a retreat with my youth group.
One of the topics was how we are made special in His image.
And although I know God has made me in His image and that he loves me, loving myself has been a hard task. I've never been the prettiest or skinniest girl around, and certainly not the one everyone wanted to be friends with and that was hard. It had taken me years to come to terms with that fact that I beautiful and that God made me the way I am because there is a certain purpose he wants me to fill.
We also learned to do everything we do to the glory of God. And this is one that I like a lot. Because if you live your life glorifying God- you'll be better for it, and everyone around you will be better for it.
