Mirror

"You turn my wailing into dancing; you remove my sackcloth and clothe me with joy."

What do you see when you look into the mirror?
Everyone should try this.. go infront of the mirror and stare at yourself for 2 minutes. How do you feel? What do you see?
I did this in the past.. I stand infront of my mirror and watch myself cry. As tears just streamed down my face, I looked at my moles, my yellow teeth, my acne, my bucktooth, ... so frigging ugly. Then, I would weep even louder because my heart was ten times uglier than my face. That was the past.

I look into the mirror now and I either smile really big..or crack up into laughter. I would smile and laugh even more.. seeing myself laugh and smile. I LOVE seeing myself joyful. It makes me JOYFUL to see myself JOYFUL. I love to look into the mirror and see.. not Twig, but the New Creation God has turned me into. There is something new about my face.. it's not that I've had less moles, pimples, or yellow teeth.. something so different I can't describe. A completely new and different spirit..... :] I've got the HOLYG in meeee...I AM NOT THAT PERSON ANYMORE.

A few days ago, I was so afraid to do whatever God's calling me to do. I'm fearful of the storm..fearful of the impending nights of tears and pain.. but nah, what the heck? I'm in it now. If the HolyG leads me to it, He will lead me through it. That goes for you as well.....

Thank You, Lord Jesus.. for deep hurts..
because with deep hurts..come deep healing and joy.
