I finished clothes week yesterday. It certainly wasn’t food,
but I didn’t like it. I found that 60 seconds goes REALLY fast when I’m trying
to pick out an outfit, and shoes, and jewelry. I also found that more often
than not, I wanted to change. I really struggle with feeling insecure in
whatever I’m wearing, and there are definitely days I change 3-4 times before I
leave the house. Not good. I also realized that I hated one shirt I was wearing
(which will no longer be part of my wardrobe), and the whole day I just felt
off because of my shirt. My shirt! What a ridiculous, vain, unnecessary thing
to ruin a day over!
The biggest lesson of clothes came out of the possessions
side of it. I finally got rid of the sophomore year homecoming dress, but more
on that later. And, going forward, I really don’t want to buy endless amounts
of more. If I buy something, it needs to replace something else and it needs to
be necessary.
I know the Lord is working on me, and empowering me to be
comfortable in my own skin, but this week really showed me my need to depend on
Him in this area.
