My talk with that girl in the mirror

Today, I looked in the mirror and thought;

"One of us is lying to the other".

This girl in the mirror and I do not always get along.

What I call laugh lines, she calls wrinkles.

What I call curves, she calls fat.

Where I see potential, she sees despair.

Where I see wisdom from experience, she only sees scars.

My eyes look and see a survivor, her eyes look and only see hidden pain.

I see a woman who proudly gave all she had to be a mother,

and she sees a woman who's kids are getting older, who doesn't have a career.

I see a girl who wants to be true to what she believes,

and she sees a girl who still wants to fit in with the cool girls.

I look in that mirror, again but this time  I am looking deeper... 

 deep within myself to find what I have  always been,
a daughter of a King with a divine purpose.

It's only when I believe this much is true

That my real beauty comes shinning through.

and both reflections match..

I don't care how long it takes ladies, go have a chat with that girl in the mirror until you are both seeing what is real.    The truth is that you are pretty wonderful.  Enjoy the fall break and have a great weekend!!
