Faith & <strong>Family</strong> YOU ARE SO BEAUTIFUL<br />
by Kim Edmondson<br />
In a few months, I will be<br />
turning 39. It is not something I<br />
enjoy thinking. So usually when<br />
the thought comes to my mind,<br />
I try to get busy with a task that<br />
requires great thought and skill...<br />
like the laundry!! It’s not that I<br />
think 39 is really that old; it’s just<br />
that I realize it’s not that young. I<br />
recently told one of my closest<br />
friends that by the time I am 40<br />
I want to look better than I ever<br />
have, and be in the best shape<br />
I have ever been. Let’s just say,<br />
there’s plenty of work to be done<br />
to accomplish that goal!<br />
Recently a question has been<br />
on my mind. As women, why<br />
is it that no matter how old we<br />
are we never seem to be fine<br />
with where we are? When we<br />
are young, we long to be older<br />
and more mature. When we<br />
are older and more mature we<br />

long for the days when we were<br />
young. There never seems to be<br />
a perfect age, a perfect look or<br />
a perfect fit. We are constantly<br />
searching for the thing that<br />
makes us feel beautiful.<br />
I recently heard a pastor speak<br />
about this very thing and wanted<br />
to share some of what he had<br />
to say with you. Perry Noble<br />
is the pastor of New Spring<br />
Church where they recently<br />
did a sermon series just for the<br />
ladies. In one of his sermons he<br />
addresses six areas that define<br />
the identity of a woman. I have<br />
borrowed his list and some of his<br />
thoughts and mixed them with<br />
my own to discuss these areas<br />
with you. (Perry’s words are<br />
marked with quotes.)<br />

as women we want to look<br />

good. Some of us have to<br />
work a bit harder at it than<br />
others, but for the most part<br />
the lady in each of us wants<br />
to present a pretty face, nice<br />
hair and snappy clothes. We<br />
often go to great lengths to<br />
accomplish these things,<br />
like making trips to the mall<br />
with crying children and a<br />
miserable husband in tow.<br />
Why? Because we believe<br />
“when we look good on<br />
the outside that we will feel<br />
beautiful on the inside.”<br />
2. House: Most of us would<br />
probably say that we feel<br />
“our home is an extension of<br />
who we are.” When things<br />
are in order in our homes<br />
it helps life to run more<br />
