Yesterday, I had my annual check-up. I told my doctor that I am no longer taking most of my supplements. I am now feeling better. I stopped attending all of my exercise classes. I am now feeling better. I stopped dieting. I am now feeling better.
The biggest change I made in my life is letting go of what I thought health and beauty truly were. I do not need to be proficient in ballet to dance with my children. I do not need to be a supermodel for my husband to tell me I am beautiful.
I just need to be the me God planned me to be.
You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise You because I am wonderfully made; awesome are Your works, as I know very well. My body was not hidden from You when I was being made in secret. When I was woven together in the depths of the earth, You saw me in the womb. The sum total of my days were all recorded in Your book. My life was fashioned before it had come into being. How precious are Your designs, O God! Isa 139: 13-17
