Something New

Today I start a new chapter in my life! Although I can not recall the chapter number (there have been sooo many I have lost count lol), the chapter title reads "Blogger." This was not my idea, but God has been putting it on my heart to start this since late last year. I can admit that I questioned Him at first because I thought "Who wants to hear what I have to say?" Then Jesus told me "I am using you to tell your story so people can hear what I have to say." So you do not have to worry, this blog will not be about me. However, you will learn a lot about me through the life lessons Jesus has taught me. Hence the name "Beyond The Pretty". I think when people usually see me or any pretty girl for that matter, they see a pretty girl. But few get to see what lies beyond the pretty face. For me, this is partly because I only allow few to see anything beyond my physical features and the other part is because some just refuse to look. Whatever the reason, those that read this blog will get to see that beyond my pretty lies a woman that loves the Lord, her family and friends; a woman that is passionate about sports and the law; a woman that is dedicating her life to ensure that no child is left behind; and a woman that now knows that its really not about me but about the God that lives on the inside of me. God has really done a work in my life these past two years and although I can admit that I am petrified of exposing myself to the world, I have to shake it off and do God's will. After all I know God does not give his children the spirit of fear. So I hope that you will tune in to see what lies "Beyond The Pretty"!!!!!
