I had taken a selfie of myself and my husband today and when I looked at myself, I noticed something.
My eyebrows looked rather sparse.
Was it just because I was so used to seeing social media filters from others that left me questioning my own makeup techniques (or lack thereof)?
It could have been the camera angle. Maybe it was the lighting.
Whatever it was, I was left  feeling a little self conscious about my appearance.
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised. (Proverbs 31:30)
The insecurity sesh lasted about three minutes. After that, I began thinking about how much more there is to a person than picture perfect eyebrows.
My thoughts began to focus on how my soul has been  sanctified through various trials in this life.
I am only 34, but I can tell you that these life lessons I have been dealt so far would cause some to sink really fast. It was only because of the foundation of Christ that I was able to weather the storms.
I’m not saying this to be obtuse, but to point out that fancy eyebrows aren’t at the top of my life list of priorities at this stage in my life.
Here are some things that I consider important:
Plucking sin from my soul.
Shaping my children to be more like Christ.
Allowing Jesus to fill me.
Brushing up on scripture daily.
Angling my viewpoint with God’s.
I feel so much better about my appearance when I have fixed my hair, put on makeup, and taken time to pick out something nice to wear. However, if I have not considered my heart above all, all of this may as well be stripped away.
I am not a perfect Christian. I am only here to say that without Jesus Christ-no matter how perfect those brows are, ladies- we will be left unfilled and unshaped as the person we were made to be.
For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well. (Psalm 139:13-14)
