Welcome to the Loved by God Faith Blog Hop! We are so blessed to have you be a part of it. This month we want to share with you about the beauty we find in Christ through Psalm 45:11 “let the King be enthralled by your beauty; honor Him, for He is your Lord..”.
The world is filled with wrong images of what beauty is and what it entails. We have come to believe that if somehow we all get to look alike – if we all fit the mold, then we are accepted. What I find interesting is that the Lord wanted each and every one of us to be so YOUNIQUE that He made sure that NOT ONE other human has your same fingerprints. Sadly, we ignore that and long to fit in…
I wonder what would happen if you actually learned to be content with whom God chose you ought to be?
What if you actually believed God when He says that He made you in His image – and it was good?
I wonder if somehow even your relationships with others would change? How about your relationship with God? … and your relationship with yourself?
In this blog hop, I want to challenge you to STAND OUT from the rest.
Do what it takes to have the King enthralled by your beauty – Honor Him for indeed He is our Lord.
My prayer is that your life would be a reflection of beauty.
Let every imperfection become part of the beautiful portrait the Lord is constructing with your life. May you choose daily to be intentional about having the Lord be enthralled by you – once you experience this – Everything becomes rubbish!

beautiful post nana, thanks for the encouragement.
Marjolaine.. i absolutely loved what you had to share! 😉 Thanks for being such a blessing in this world! 🙂
wow Nana that was beautiful! thank you for sharing. Thank you for words of encouragement. May God continue to bless you
Dolores, I was beyond blessed with what you had to say! 🙂 Praying for you! Thanks for the blessing! Hugs!
WOW, this passage is so fitting for me right now and I love what you have to say. I have been doing a Body Journal class over at Brave Girls Club, it’s all about body image and your soul. I’ve been making my journal more Faith based, this verse nad some notes are going into my journal, thankyou!!
I have started to flollow you on FB, Twitter and have already been following your blog for awhile now, I’ve really enjoyed it!
I honestly can’t answer your question, I don’t know what life would look like, I’ve been trying my best to leave it all to God, I’m learning to leave things to him, which has been a struggle at times. I have a vision in mind of what I’d like to do, but not sure if it’s what God is wanting me to do, all I know is that I want to live his purpose for me.
Thankyou for this blog hop, off I go to learn about what other ladies have to say, after I take some noted from here 🙂
I wish you the best on your new adventure with your class!!!
May God continue to use you for his glory!
Donna, I love the fact that you have chosen to make your book a faith based book. The root of all of our doubts and fears lies in what we believe or don’t believe… I will be praying the Lord gives you some direction and would be honored if allowed to chat with you about those things. Let me know if you are interested.. 🙂 Hugs!
Thank you for setting up this blog hop. It’s been most enjoyable meeting all the ladies. I hope that if I could leave my ashes behind that I would find joy, especially joy in the Lord
Bernice, may the Lord of Hosts give you the desires of your heart!!! 😉 thanks for stopping by! Hugs!

Tammy, you have given me the biggest compliment! :). My prayer is that others see Him through me, so when you say that I write with His pen I am filled with joy and so very humbled! It has been a true blessing having you be a part of this. Your words and love have been such an encouragement – plus I loved your project. :). Hugs!
Hi Nana,
Your post is great! We all are beautiful, because God made us.
It’s so sad how we, woman, can be judging ourselves so negative over things we see in the magazines or on tv. But those things are just make belief.
Thanks for sharing the video with us and your encouragement.
Have a blessed day!
Wendy
Wendy, it is very sad. I also think it is sad that we judge each other. There is such division that comes from focusing in the wrong type of beauty. Women no longer can enjoy friendships without sizing each other up… :(. I pray that soon women would become awakened to the true beauty and so become free as they free others!
Wonderful post and I am really excited about the new Ashes to Beauty classes. Wonderful canvas too….
Nicole, thank you for stopping by. I loved that you participated in this hop… Really lovely your perspective on the verse! :). Hugs!
My life would look more Christ like and be filled with more peace and purpose.
I understand that Neysa! More Christ-like is definitely what we all need! 🙂 Thanks for stopping by! Hugs!
Just discovered your blog through the blog hop links. Wow. The boldness of your mission scares me….in a good way…stirring up pushed down dreams and moving me out of the comfort zone…into the place where there are exciting risks to take and where God shines. Praying about the Ashes to Beauty class. Thank you for being a great example of a creatively bold Jesus girl!
Bummer! I’m bummed that I missed this. I remember getting a notice and than forgot about it. That video was…Beautiful!
