What God Is Teaching Me About Beauty

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes, instead it should be that of the inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful." 1 Peter 3:1-5

Working in the beauty industry has encouraged my love of fashion and all things beauty oriented. I adore making women feel beautiful. I am reminded of why I chose this job when a client tears up at the sight of her own face in the mirror, feeling beautiful for the first time. Throughout this journey as a new hairstylist, or really just as a woman, I am sometimes baffled by the lengths that (some of) us women take to look beautiful. And whether we really admit to this, we all want to look or feel beautiful. Through my study of 1 Peter, God has reminded me of a very important verse for us women. It tells us that God finds great worth in the sight of our inner beauty - a gentle and quiet spirit. I have to admit that being gentle and quiet isn't something that comes naturally to me. Sometimes I can be more worried about my physical beauty than my inner beauty. Even if I am all dressed up, if I'm snippy to my husband or rude to a co-worker, than my outward beauty means nothing; and God is not impressed. Let's become beautiful, women. Not with our outward beauty, but with gentle and quiet spirits. This is truly beautiful.

Catching Up

March-

Hubby and I took a vacation to Punta Cana in the Dominican republic. The beaches were STUNNING, the food was good, and the weather was perfect. Thank you Jesus for the carribean! :) We really appreciated the time together to relax and enjoy each others company. Will didn't touch his work ONCE. For this I was thankful.

April-

My sister, Camille, came for an extended visit (take note that there are now three sisters in the Guthrie home). We are having so much fun being together and Will and I are always happy to open up our home to those we love. After all, isn't that what our home is for?

May-

Will is in the final countdown for school. He has been studying non-stop and I am proud to say that he is doing very well. I married such a brilliant man :).

Work has been going well for me and I am excited to announce my salon's hair show this Saturday (May 15th). "The ME" fashion show will include 14 models (two of which are my sisters), and we will be styling their hair for this event. Previously this month we had the models come in for a photo shoot. Here is a sneak peak of the hair I did on Michelle-
