A Blessing to Feel Beautiful


...It really is. On most days, I don't roll out of bed, look into the mirror, and say, "Wow, my bedhead is looking really great today!" Nor do I pull on a leotard for ballet class and say, "Look at that thin physique." Like any girl, I would assume, I'm not all that comfortable with the way my body looks. But on certain, special days, I am given THE BLESSING of feeling beautiful. I always have to thank the one behind the lens. So Jennifer Sherman- You deserve a humongous shout out. Thank you for capturing me and for more importantly capturing my beauty so that I too could realize how wonderful God did when he made me. He gave you a heap of talent for this, as well. And for that, I will always be grateful!

It's a hard subject to talk about as girls. If you act too confident and 'love' how you look, you seem snooty. But if you hate your appearance, you seem annoying. Where's the happy medium? So for today... I'm going to ignore those stigmas and say that I look pretty because 1.) God is an amazing designer and 2.) Jen is an incredible photographer.

Several people on facebook commented and liked Jennifer's photos. :-)

What a blessing (and a rarity) it is to actually feel beautiful!! Facebook certainly is a confidence booster. Some people (who didn't comment) would actually come up to me in school and at church and mention these photos to me. I was taken aback. Thanks to all those who commented AND thanks again and again to Mrs. Jennifer!

And of course, I scrapbooked some of them too. Not all, but a few of my favorites!! Click on any to zoom.





This last page is my favorite, for sure!

Thanks to all of you who read my blog. There's probably more of you out there than I realize, so I'd just like to send love to you all.

Happy New Year everybody! 2012 is gonna be great!
