Insta Diaries #4

If you follow me on Instagram - you'll know that I sometimes post mini-blogs in my captions. It's usually whatever I'm feeling in that moment that is bursting to be shared. They aren't always grammatically correct or theologically researched but they're 100% how I feel in that moment.

Real talk here. Insecurity. It’s a thing.

The other day my friend Erica asked me to come model for her. Which I thought was a joke because I am no model. That’s why I take photos - so I don’t have to be in them. We ended up having a good time because friends have fun together even when one of them feels beyond awkward (hint: it was me!). And because Erica’s amazing - she takes beautiful photos.

But when I look at this photo - my instinct is to notice all the things “wrong” with me. But here’s the thing - I’m probably the only person who’s looking at this photo and noticing those things. Most people are probably like - dang Erica’s such a good photographer and God’s creation is stunning and dang Becca looks so happy.

So... let’s not look at ourselves or situations through our lenses. Let’s ask God to show us how He see things. Because yeah I’m not a model, but in His eyes I’m lovely and strong and redeemed by His grace and love.
