The other night I got to see three beautiful ladies that were a part of the very first session of The Beautiful Truth and let me tell you, everything I had felt during that series flooded back into my memory. I even leaned over and whispered to Jase at one point saying I wanted to do The Beautiful Truth at CBC again this year.
For those of you wondering, The Beautiful Truth is not over for good, it's only the beginning! I spent about 9 months last year pouring my heart and soul into something that I hope to have in my life for many many years. Yes, I have graduated from Columbia Bible College, and do not think I will be able to lead this ministry on that campus again. But that doesn't mean it won't be happening somewhere else. My husband and I are still in a place of searching for where we are supposed to settle down and plug our lives into for the long haul. Which means I am busy spending time time working at "that wonderful coffee shop we all make sure to stop at on a regular basis." We are also pouring our hearts out into the lives of the youth in our church this school year, which is something we are really excited about. That just means it could be difficult pulling of a successful 8 week series of The Beautiful Truth at CBC.
Who knows what the future may bring though! Maybe years down the road, The Beautiful Truth will take place each January at CBC, along with tons of other college campuses, churches, and anywhere else! That is my dream you know:)
The Beautiful Truth begins to grow each day. As I've started working about 30 hours a week, my energy level has cut down quite a bit and my motivation to get in that healthy exercise has lost it's spunk some days. I continue to struggle with the temptation to each yummy things at work, things that make my mind spin and lead my down a path that doesn't bring out the best. Don't get me wrong ladies, I LOVE my desserts and allow myself to enjoy them on an occasion WEEKLY. Yet, it's difficult when those yummy things get damaged at work, and you are more than allowed to eat them! I try and just take a bit or two to give myself a treat, and the let it go. Yet, the temptation is still there, and the struggle of positive and negative self talk can so easily creep in.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Just to remind you once again that I struggle too, even though I've created a ministry that teaches us God's truth about how beautiful we are already! So it's ok, we're going to have our bad days where our confidence is struggling, but what have we learned through The Beautiful Truth? WE ARE BEAUTIFUL JUST THE WAY WE ARE. Yes, we need to take care of our bodies in a healthy way because we are God's precious creation. Yes, we get to enjoy yummy food hear and there. Daily even when the proportions are right!
Babbling seems to be a gift of mine:) Yet, that's what blogs are for sometimes!
The Beautiful Truth is not done, and will only continue to grow from here! My job is to listen to God's leading about where I am supposed to share this ministry next time, whether that's 5 months from now (if so, God start talkin cuz I've gotta get goin!:) Or if it's 2 years from now....
For now, I will continue to pour the only thing I know, God's truth about our beauty, out in this blog, in the relationships I have, and any young women, or old, that needs to hear God's truth!
Can I hear an AMEN?!
K ladies, remember that you are BEAUTIFUL! If there is a topic you want to hear about, an experience you've been dying to know if someone else has battled through, send an email to thebeautifultruth@hotmail.com and I can spend time researching, and writing about it on here ok? Oddly enough, that's what I enjoy doing in my spare time:)
Hugs and Blessings,
Brit
