Freckle Face.

Last year was full of challenges and learning new things about myself. But the funny part about that is, all of this goes back to my freckles.

So, let’s get real. For the longest time I hated the freckles on my face. Everyone knows those people who ask you random questions like “why do you eat this” or “why do you listen to this” or “why do you go to school here”– As a girl we often get the question, “why do you wear makeup?”. My reply was always “to cover up my freckles”. It’s crazy because if you let it, one insecurity can control your entire life. So in July, I stopped wearing makeup. I didn’t do it to prove a point, I didn’t do it to clear my skin, but instead I did it because I felt like the Lord asked me to. 

In the process, I have learned this:

If I am not confident in who I am in the Lord, I will always be looking for that affirmation in those around me and I will always be disappointed. If I am not confident in who the Lord has called me to be, then I will be too scared to take the next step. If I can not find confidence and contentment in who the Lord has created me to be (looks, personality, talents, abilities, all of that) then I will never reach the purpose he has laid out for me. 

He is greater than whatever is holding you back, friends. Don’t let it control your life. Trust me, some days are better than others. But today, I can confidently say, I’m starting to like my freckles.

“Lord, there is no one like you! For you are great, and your name is full of power.” Jeremiah 10:6 (NLT)

    Two years ago Alecia Keys went on the red carpet with no makeup on. That day I decided I would go the rest of the semester without makeup. I was lucky enough to have a group of friends who would tell me I looked beautiful even on days I had no makeup on. The thing is, God created us and he created us beautifully. We should embrace that. I am so proud of you. You are beautiful.
