So, this morning I wake up and go to the bathroom and get ready like I do every morning. THIS morning was a little different I did a few things before going and getting ready and looking in the mirror, but when I finally went downstairs to get ready I looked in the mirror and SCREAMED!! AGH! I LOOK LIKE A LION WITH BLACK EYES! "Yikes" I thought. I asked myself in the mirror "How on earth does Darrel find you attractive?" of course, my husband thought I was saying something to him and he answered "YES?" I began to laugh, and started getting "presentable" but as I was getting ready I was also thinking, while looking at my reflection, who else am I reflecting? Being a Christian I am reflecting Christ! Just like all my other fellow brothers and sisters! But am I really reflecting Him or am I reflecting Caitlin? Do I draw attention to myself? Or do I bring attention to GOD? Do I want people to compliment me or my Savior? Am I wearing something that would bring honor to my husband and to my God, or am i wearing something that represents my "not so" body?
I begin to think more about it, and how important it is to represent and be a "Christ-like" image! You are the only Bible people see, and I would much rather people compliment how I shine for my Savior then how awesomely that shirt looks on me! (Awesomely? Is that even a word?) Some people may think that this only applies to women, but actually applies to men too!
Now dont get me wrong, I believe in looking nice and I actually quite enjoy getting all "dazzled" (Dazzled? am I making up words? Oh who cares this is my blog) , but when I focus more on myself then Jesus something is completely not "Fair"
I hope I was able to make your noggins think a little more then they already have to today!
Happy Reading and God Bless
Caitlin
