Pretty Is Not Enough

20120606-174054.jpg This sign caught my eye at Bare Minerals today and I must say, this is the most inspiring thing I've seen at the mall in a long time. Ladies, pretty truly is not enough. God has called us to be beautiful and to leave our beauty mark on the world. Be encouraged today that God can use our beauty to lead people to Him. To change the world! Just like Esther, our beauty & loveliness can open a door of opportunity to save a generation of people! Beautiful one, you are a force of beauty for the kingdom. Let your light shine and never dim your light to make others feel comfortable. Be bold in who you are and leave your mark!

The Pink Lid Miami Highlights!

Hello beauties! I first would like to say thank you for your prayers regarding The Pink Lid girls conference and the entire Miami trip. I had no idea what a blessing it would be to my family and me. God did exceedingly, abundantly, above ALL that I could ask or even think! Not only did we have a fabulous time of ministry with the girls in Miami, Florida, but we had a great time of relaxation at the beach and on a day date. Below are some highlights from the trip!

Friday Night at The Pink Lid:

Having fun. :)

After the conference, we spent some time with our close friends Matt & Alyssa Shull and Valeriana Chikoti-Bandua. On Tuesday, the last day of our trip, Stephan and I spent the day in Hollywood Beach at the boardwalk and had a whole day of fun and relaxation to ourselves!

One of my favorite moments of relaxation during the trip was riding bikes with Stephan along the Hollywood Beach boardwalk. I will never forget how fun that was.

I also recorded a video while on the boardwalk that I included in a previous post. If you haven't seen it already, click here.

This past week was one of the best weeks of my life. I haven't had this much fun in a loooooong time. It was our first family vacation and largest Pink Lid conference to date! Thank you for taking the time to share in my joy and take a glimpse into this special moment in time with me. I know that even better days are ahead. And I can only imagine what God has in store!

The Pink Lid Conference is finally here!

I am so excited to begin the Pink Lid girls conference this evening at Words of Life Fellowship Church in Miami Beach, Florida. I had the opportunity to speak to the young people at Lifeforce Youth (the youth ministry at WOLFC) on Wednesday and was so blessed by their energy and excitement about God. I can only imagine how exciting it will be to see the young women of Miami come together for a weekend to worship God and learn about His perspective of beauty and purity. If you're in the Miami area or know a young woman that is, please encourage them to come! Registration is available at the door! Also, please join in agreement with me and the team here for lives to be forever changed and impacted by the power of God and the truth of His Word. Thank you for your prayers and support! I can't wait to share the testimonies and pictures with you soon!
