My first couple of years in ministry I worked with junior high and high school students. One girl who I was very close with had an eating disorder she battled all throughout her teenage years. (I’m happy to report now that she is 20 and has been winning this battle!!). It seems like most women I know struggle with some kind of distorted self-image...

Our environment tends to yell a lot louder than the often subtle whispers of God.

SKINNY!! FLAWLESS!! TAN!! RADIANT!! SMOOTH!! BOLD!! SEXY!!

I have to intentionally turn off the noise so that I can hear the quiet but unbending truth about self worth...

faithful loving holy patient kind good gentle strong generous
