How is it that we women hold ourselves to an expectation of perfection, especially in the way we look? <br /><br />As a woman who never had the privilege of bearing children, I encourage you to wear that baby bump with pride. It's a gift to bear three children. :) Thanks for the reminder to look to Jesus for our value, not to our clothing size and what media has to say. :) SUCH great reminders today!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479231876628659741.post-90432223558389447412015-05-30T05:20:28.747-07:002015-05-30T05:20:28.747-07:00Tammy, I was looking for you over at FMF - loved t...Tammy, I was looking for you over at FMF - loved the post.

I'm so glad to stand with you on this and I am certain you are lovelier than you allow yourself to believe. Still, our enemy likes to poke at our soft spots (that's intentional) and knows where we tend to be weak.<br />On the internet, it is much easier to glorify God and make it about Him instead of our white-washed tombs. It takes off the pressure to be physically perfect in appearance, and instead allows us to share His perfection.<br />Love you!<br />~TammyTammysincerityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959015797818229243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479231876628659741.post-67096661629518665882015-05-29T19:04:47.751-07:002015-05-29T19:04:47.751-07:00:) Thanks so much!

I think the hardest thing was that two years ago, I worked diligently from December through May to get fit and trim for my youngest sister's wedding and I looked/felt amazing. Two years later, I am far from that goal and disappointed that I strayed so far.<br /><br />Yes, let's listen to those who would affirm us! I'll come visit you now. :)<br />Love,<br />TammyTammysincerityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959015797818229243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479231876628659741.post-35221424003186726622015-05-29T19:03:29.997-07:002015-05-29T19:03:29.997-07:00Thanks Tara.

thank you for taking the time to comment....Mary, <br /> thank you for taking the time to comment. Oh sister, I know this struggle. It's been an up and down battle for me ever since I left the house and went to college. I do find that when I'm active, I'm craving better foods. So, if you find an activity you love, you get to eat more (bonus!) as well as the endorphins that make you feel happy. For me, I LOVE swimming. But even evening walks with my family count as being active. I also enjoy my Wii fit plus and trying to beat my own records. I'm pretty amazing at the "Super Hula Hoop".<br />Just know you're definitely not alone and I'll be praying that you find that deep satisfaction that gives us peace and keeps us from seeking it in other places like external appearance.<br />Love,<br />TammyTammysincerityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16959015797818229243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479231876628659741.post-5846663821807119362015-05-28T22:26:26.195-07:002015-05-28T22:26:26.195-07:00This post was really encouraging to me, Tammy!

There's scar tissue and things got moved around and it's never to going to be flat or perfect. Some days I get pretty down about it. I needed this reminder, that's it's okay!Mariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280944336944538944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8479231876628659741.post-59031844284205125202015-05-28T21:14:52.457-07:002015-05-28T21:14:52.457-07:00Isn't it just like that sometimes?

I'm glad your sister was able to help you shift your focus and find perspective! God bless you!

I think ..."Behold I make all things new." I think God often brings about that new by helping us to focus on other things; to focus on God and not our looks etc. Thank you for your transparency friend.
