When I looked in the mirror today, I could hardly recognize the person staring back at me. So much has changed and yet they remain the same.
As a cosmetologist, I've experimented with so many different styles. Some were HITS while others...let's just say better off forgotten. I've fought a good fight in the battle of bulge and my "Girls" have managed to defy gravity!
In the business of beautifying people my motto had always been, I've got an "Image" to uphold. Yeah, I know what your thinking, she's so vain. Possibly. Maybe? Not!
Truth is, I tormented myself for many years. I followed the crowd of fads just to fit in. But no matter what I tried, I never really measured up to what our culture deems as "Beautiful People" until I discovered the alchemy of inner beauty.
We're all familiar with the term "take what you have and work with", well I tweaked the hell out of mine! Trial and error my Mirror was there the whole time, playing both roles as friend and foe. It's true, my Mirror pointed out all of my flaws behind my back like a true HATER. But whenever I hurt, she would solemnly commit to making me laugh before I cracked her with the ugly cry. LOL! That's love!
Now, my Mirror and I work as a team. Although we're still a work in progress, clarity and patience has given us an edge. I'm no longer confused about who I'm growing to be and my Mirror has learned how to wait on me. Harsh words are no longer necessary. My Mirror reveals my Truth in Love and I reflect my guidance with Wisdom.
In conclusion, my Mirror helped me critique my state of Mind into "BEING" a beautifully divine work of art.
Proverbs 23:7 As a man thinks...so is he.
When YOU look in the MIRROR, who do you see?
