Acne, wrinkles and boobs

I have been noticing that things only matter when they are impossible or scarce. As a skinny teen, I was worried about boobs, but that is, because I was skinny. There are a very few girls who are skinny and have big boobs, but this is not common. I believed it was and that I was the misfit. Though, I never worried about wrinkles, because face it teens do not commonly deal with that problem, they deal with acne, so mid 30 ought to have been the perfect time for me. I was pregnant and managed to breast feed, I had no acne or wrinkles, but thought that because I grew in size that I was no longer pretty. And frankly, I no longer looked like a gangly teen, though I regretted that for some reason.

Just today I realized something that helped me a whole lot and I hope you read and internalize it in time to appreciate your beauty. It has to do with height. It starts and ends with scripture which gives comfort as it is the opinion of God. He said, "look not on his height..." From Samuel in reference to choosing a divine king, and something like not worrying about your height because with all that you worry you cannot change it one bit. So, I figure it is better to focus on what we can change when we can, because there are only little windows of opportunity. For instance, we are given weaknesses that we can know our failures and know where to improve. I do not believe that not having large breasts is a God given weakness, and if it is a weakness it is the world and those who worry about it are wasting their time, and if their priorities are such, though it doesn't mean they will always be so, but they are not valuing what is worth worrying about.
