When there is cereal in your hair

or spit up down the shirt that you just put on after your first shower in three days...

You are beautiful.

When you can't remember the last time you looked into the mirror, did your hair, or wore something other than yoga pants...

You are beautiful.

When you see those stretch marks, baggy eyes, and the hair growing in places you didn't know were possible... 

You are beautiful.

When you're struggling with your appearance or just had to go up (again!) in pant size after the baby is already here...

You are beautiful.

You.

Are.

Beautiful.

Sometimes it is so difficult to remember that we were made for such a time as this... This time in our life where we feel worn out, muddled, and overwhelmed. It is during this time that God wraps his strong arms around and reminds us that right now, is where we are meant to be. And it is beautiful.

Some days are better than others, some days we feel powerful, achieved, and on top of our own personal world. I call those days... well to be honest, few and far between haha 

BUT on the days like today, when we feel put out, self-deprecating, and just overall blah... days like this, remind yourself how truly stunning you are, messy, hair, dirty shirt, frazzled brains and all :)

Today I am beautiful.
