Friday wasn't a good day for me.
Nothing bad happened.
It wasn't even one of those days.
The day started off right (with my Bible) but the moment I got to work I was just fleshy.
By fleshy, I mean selfish, rude, and whiny. Probably more.
Not cute.
You know when you mess up and you feel bad afterward for what you said, did, didn't say, or didn't do? Well, this wasn't like that.
I totally knew, in the moment, that I was being obnoxious, hurtful, and hypocritical.
This is not the girl I want to be.
I want to be a woman filled with joy.
I want to be a selfless human being always looking for ways to help others. No matter who they are.
I want to be beautiful on the inside.
I want to be known for my patience.
I want to be kind to everyone--to her face and behind her back.
I want to be a crown to my husband.
I want to work hard without complaining.
I want to maintain a beautiful home where others can rest and be known.
I want my eyes to be OPEN.
I want to love when I've been wronged.
I want to be calm.
I want to be motivated.
I want to be able to handle much with little.
I'm not trying to be perfect, I just want my ugly and vulnerable side to still be presentable to others.
That is the kind of woman I want to be, always.
We all have these days filled with these "ugly" moments but you are in no way ugly girl! Not on the outside or inside! :) you look so stinkin cute! Love those colors!
ReplyDeletei think we all have those days but it's always a good sign when we can see the struggle, see the errors, and then strive for better! it's hard but at least we can see it! you are beautiful for sharing!

ReplyDeleteI love this post Sarah ♥♥
And you look adorable (on the outside too ;)
You are beautiful sweet Sarah! and it's wonderful that you know the days when you're acting less than what's best... You are a true representation of God's faithful daughter. And though I don't know you well, I hear amazing things about you often. {srf is a small world!}

Great post. The thing I hate about days like that is I rarely notice I'm being a jerk while I'm in it. I think about it later on and then feel guilty.
ReplyDeleteLove your lipstick by the way :)
We all have our days. I feel like I have those days every day. Maybe one day I'll be perfect, but probably not...
ReplyDeleteLove the vintage dooney and burke. I had one like that years ago.
Oh, we all have days where we give in to the flesh. We just have to start fresh and renew our mind and spirit in the Lord when we realize how we're acting. Which it sounds like you've done exactly! No body's perfect... Well, except Jesus. =)
ReplyDeletei don't believe for A second that you are ever ugly, and this post just proves that :)
ReplyDeleteAmen sista.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful on the inside and out!

I think we all have "ugly" moments once in awhile...and it is those moments that we reflect on and work to be a better person...being a better person is constant work! ;-)

Aw, I feel ya friend. I have more days like this than I'd like to admit. We're all human, but at least you (we) are trying. You look beautiful on the outside and I do know you're beautiful on the inside!!
ReplyDeleteI think we all have "ugly days" like that. I know I do. It's nice that you're self-aware though and working to have less days like that. I think that you are a beautiful woman who loves the Lord and I very much enjoy reading your posts and seeing the beauty that's in your heart!
ReplyDeleteYour goals and outfit are inspiring! :)

We all have days like this, or at least I know I definitely do. The important thing is that you can open up and accept that you can't always be perfect and the way you want to be. But you can strive towards it. You're so inspiring!
