"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment... Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit." -1 Peter 3:3a & 4

"...true beauty comes from the inner part of us. Our hearts. A heart ay resy... A woman in her glory, a woman of beauty, is a woman who is not striving to become beautiful or worthy or enough. She knows in her quiet center where God dwells that he finds her beautiful, has deemed her worthy, and in him, she is enough." -from Captivating

"You still my heart, and you take my breath away, would you take me in, would you take me deeper now, and how can I stand here with you, and not be moved by you, would you tell me how could it be, any better than this?" -Lifehouse

"Everything she does is beautiful, everything she does is right." -Lifehouse

"Then you came around me, the walls just dissapeared, nothing to surround me, keep me from my fears, I'm unprotected, see how I've opened up, you've made me trust, I've never felt like this before, I'm naked around you... trying to remember, why I was afraird to be myself, and let the covers fell away, guess I never had someone like you, to help me fit in my own skin." -Avril Lavigne

So today I am learning that I have a beauty that is unveiled when my heart is at rest... when I am still with God. So many times, I feel I always have to be busy. Maybe that's why God has forced me to the summer situation I am in... I am being forced to rest and stay still. This is what it has taken for me to abide in Him and seek Him. He wants me to discover His beauty, and in turn, I too will become more beautiful.

Big Stuf tomorrow... hope we don't... as Cari said... get eaten by the tropical storm!
