2 dates, 2 looks

Two weeks ago I went on 2 blind dates in one week. I know...CRAZY. For a girl who doesn't often go outside her comfort zone this was a big deal for me. After the week was over I realized I prepared for the dates in very different ways. For the first one, I was set up by a friend of mine

and went to get coffee together. I called a co

uple of my girlfriends to make sure what I was wearing was good and even stopped by a friends house to make sure I looked ok. I was assured by my 2 year old Godson that looked beautiful. Whew! and was on my way on to my date.

The following weekend I went on another date. A blind date with Jesus. I went on a retreat lead by the Dominican Sisters of Nashville and had no idea what to expect. Oh what a feeling that what I packed was not a worry. I had my comfy jeans, sweater, and even my glasses so my eyes would be comfy. What I wore in front of Jesus didn't matter. Even though I had no idea how the weekend would go, how I would react to so much alone time with him, or what my feelings would be toward him....I did not have to worry about what I looked

like.

What a great reminder of how God loves us. Girls worry so much about appearances but in front of Him all that goes away.
