Such good stuff, Caila! It is so easy to grade myself against the world’s standards…which become more and more demanding (and strangely leave one feeling less and less beautiful…or not so strange). It’s so refreshing to read these words and remember…it’s not the primping I do in front of a mirror that makes me beautiful…it’s the things I do in my soul…the things that let his light in so I can pour it out to others. Lord, may I spend more time and energy on making my inside beautiful than my outside. “…may my soul bless you!” Psalm 103
Kari, I found your blog when Caila posted a bazillion years ago about the Prov. 31 woman…and have been blog stalking you ever since! I’ve read all your stories, just about all your posts, and several of your book recommendations (I love Tsh!). This is such a refreshing and encouraging place…I love your truth, and your heart! I’m so looking forward to your book!
