I turn 28 years old today, and while this will be the last birthday I wish to celebrate I have big hopes and dreams for 28. This 28th year I choose to be more appealing, more attractive, and more authentic. No, I won't be getting plastic surgery this year, liposuction, or any augmentations or reductions...instead I plan to achieve these three A's by immersing myself even more in God, my husband, and my children.
I believe the most beautiful women are made absolutely gorgeous by their hearts.
I really want to be one of those women that has just a beautiful heart. I want exactly what Psalm 103:8 proclaims "...slow to anger, and quick to abounding love..." Psalms teaches us that Jesus is exactly this, and we are to thrive to be Christ-like. I need to work on this in my 28th year...I do believe it will make me more beautiful.
1 Corinthians 13 will also be my guide this 28th year with these thoughts on love...
New International Version (NIV)
13 If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith" that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give all I possess to the poor and give over my body to hardship that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing.
4 Love is patient,love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
8 Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9 For we know in part and we prophesy in part,10 but when completeness comes, what is in part disappears. 11 When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put the ways of childhood behind me. 12 For now we see only a reflection as in a mirror;then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known.
13 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.But the greatest of these is love.
This 28th year...though the calendar would mark me one year older I plan to restore a more playful-child-like fun nature, a deeply mature spiritual heart, and improve myself to be more appealing, attractive, and authentic. Watch me go...
