Since moving to Virginia I feel like the Lord wants me to really learn to have a gentle & loving spirit.
I have always been a bit more on the loud & fiesty side of things... but I long to really embody the woman of Proverbs 31.
I feel like these months before Asher is born is all about learning, listening and growing in what the Lord is telling me.
Therefore I was excited to see on my friend Mandy's blog at She Breathes Deeply
this Celebrate 31 post.
So here's the deal :
For 31 days, blog each day about things that celebrate your God given beauty, and the beauty of the women around you.
Want to join? Go over to Mandy's blog & link up!
It officially starts tomorrow but I jumped ahead a day so I can do my 23 week post tomorrow.

Day 1:
What Does Beauty Mean to you?
Beauty is so multidimensional to me.
Beauty is time. Aging. Grace.
Beauty is Jesus.
Beauty is seeing a new life begin. A full life end.
Beauty is watching my husband sleep, smile, and grow.
Beauty is feeling my baby kick.
Beauty is seeing my features in my family, and knowing they will continue on.
Beauty is dancing free in front of the Lord.
And then beauty is feeling broken, and breaking in this world to hopefully know God better.
Beauty is like water in that it is constantly changing form...
Changing how it makes you feel.
A raindrop and a storm are very different but then again they are still both forms of water.
That's how I see beauty.
