beautiful.

three people used the word "beautiful" when talking to me today.
"you're beautiful, sol."
"you look beautiful...but you do everyday."
(in prayer) "...would you show her that she is beautiful."

3 times.

that usually holds some significance when we're studying the Word.

i get the feeling You're trying to tell me something.
see, i've been struggling with my image.

am i too fat?
too average?
too plain?
too latina?
not latina enough?

so many questions...
yet tonight all i heard was the whisper,
you're beautiful.

i'll be honest, God, i can't quite internalize that.
i can't internalize that beauty that you profess i possess.
but i trust you and take you at Your word.
