"He's still working on me,
To make me what I ought to be.
It took Him just a week to make the moon and stars,
The sun and the earth and Jupiter and Mars.
How loving and patient He must be
'Cuz He's still working on me."
I don't know if you know that simple children's song, but I have it in my head tonight and wanted to share. I thank God constantly for His patience with me and that He allows me to be a continual work in progress. God calls us to change and gives us the freedom to leave behind our old ways, seek Him, and be transformed. Some days I feel like God has to work a little harder on that transformation, but I'm grateful that He never gives up on me. May You be comforted by that promise and the hope that you are still a work in progress - one that God will never give up on.

I just helped a friend sort through her closet. She did the same for me before I moved to Denver. It's amazing how we women collect and hold onto things in our closets. We hold onto outfits that made us feel good years ago, even if they are all worn out and outdated. We hold onto outfits that make us feel fat or ugly or sad and we aren't sure why.
What we wear can affect how we feel and how we feel can affect what we wear. I know that on the days when I'm feeling down, I make myself put on waisted pants (no sport shorts or sweatpants) and I put on at least a little mascara and lipstick. It makes me feel more put together and prepares me to face the day.
On this Makeover Monday, I'm not suggesting you give your closet a total makeover, like my friend. If you do need to tackle a project like that, invite a friend to help. It will go much easier. Do take a moment to evaluate how much we allow our clothes and makeup to affect how we feel as women. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? How can we use it to God's glory and not for worldly affirmation?
