CONFIDENCE<br />
eat my chips instead of kale. I want<br />
glittery eyes that sparkle.<br />
But makeup also has helped me<br />
grow in confidence. When I know<br />
I look my best—even if it’s not my<br />
natural state—I am bolder. I feel<br />
that my bags are distracting someone<br />
and they aren’t wondering why<br />
I don’t sleep. Instead, they see the<br />
sparkle in my eyes and they say I<br />
look awake.<br />
My confidence is what has lead me<br />
to be bold. It led me to inviting a<br />
coworker to church. It led me to explain<br />
to a customer why I believe in<br />
saying Merry Christmas. It led me<br />
to be able to connect with a customer<br />
who lost their house in fire.<br />
My confidence has lead me<br />
to be able to live my life<br />
boldly for Him who made<br />
me.<br />
While makeup is what helps me be<br />
bold in the face of the day, it doesn’t<br />
have to be that for you. In fact you<br />
shouldn’t lean on an earthly crutch.<br />
Instead you should call upon God to<br />
give you the confidence.<br />
<strong>Beauty</strong> comes from within . . . but<br />
sometimes it is nice to wing your eyeliner<br />
and pretend you’re Cleopatra for a<br />
day.<br />
