I AM CHALLENGE DAY ELEVEN

I AM

BEAUTIFUL

This morning I awoke to several emails regarding the I AM CHALLENGE...It seems many of you are struggling with this one!

Ok..before you continue on say it:  I AM BEAUTIFUL...

I totally understand because I have been there, feeling anything but beautful...

Did you know I struggled with an eating disorder as well as abusing drugs to keep me weight in order Its true!  

But once I found out the truth of who He is, and believed the truth that He created me in His image, He chose me, He adores me and He calls me beautiful...

I don't deny it any longer! Because I AM BEAUTIFUL!

What do you see when you look at this photo?  A weight loss story?

Wanna know what I see? I see a transformation - this photo represents my releasing the shame and pain of my past. It represents a life set apart, devoted to seeking God in the quiet place, and hearing His voice speak life to me, until I could speak it outloud to myself.

It wasn't an overnight trasition, but it was a swift one and it can be for you too! 

I want you to know that I am praying for the Holy Spirit to do a mighty, transforming work in you today!! 

Believe it! Speak it! 

I pray the Lord will minister to each of you as you watch this video...it is one of the most authentic songs I have ever heard, everytime I hear it I am undone by His love!! 

I pray you will receive His purifying love for you!  

Clean by Natalie Grant:

I see shattered

You see whole

I see broken

But You see beautiful

And You're helping me to believe

You're restoring me piece by piece

There's nothing too dirty that You can't make worthy

You wash me in mercy

I am clean.

There's nothing too dirty that You can't make worthy

You wash me in mercy

I am clean.

What was dead now lives again

My heart's beating, beating inside my chest

Oh I'm coming alive with joy and destiny

cuz You're restoring me piece by piece

There's nothing too dirty that You can't make worthy

You wash me in mercy

I am clean.

There's nothing too dirty that You can't make worthy

You wash me in mercy

I am clean.
