[...] My shorts seemed silly. My legs were winter-pale. (And I am not foolish enough to believe that summer will actually change that. That’s just not the way my skin behaves.) My shirt reminded me of my ever-present mental body-image struggle. [...]

Thank you, Lacey, for speaking words of truth. I don’t know one girl that doesn’t struggle with living up to her version of (unattainable) beauty. You’re right – it is a sin to be discontent with the way the Lord made me. And I am tired of being so focused on it. So thank you for turning our eyes to what really matters, what is true and lasting and good. Thank you.

I just love your post! My pal recommended this to me and I’m going to recommend it to my other acquiantances as well. Hope you could post more of this.

I absolutely adore this post, because it felt like I wrote it (although mine would clearly not be as well-written and moving) . . . but it sounded like my own struggles (well with different body “issues”) . . .

Sarah/Lacey,

Whoa. Thank you so much for sharing, your transparency and for revealing a new sin-pattern in my own heart that I hadn’t even realized was there. This part seriously got me, and stopped me in my tracks:

“I think sometimes I pursue God because I look at myself and feel that the first two options (charm, beauty) are already closed doors to me. So I might as well, if only by default, go down the other path – the fear of the Lord.”

Seriously convicting for me. That’s me. Ouch. And thank you.

Melissa

My pastor said this tonight, and I think it goes with what’s being talked about this week: “Never under estimate how much a girl can hate herself/how she looks”

Thank you, Lacey/Sarah–the mirror and body image -the world’s image versus the truth of the Lord is a constant struggle. And to not compare–and look back in the mirror and think the Lord made a mistake. Thank you for your authenticity and sharing. god bless.
