Mean Girls: The Power of Words With Leanna Crawford Sample

DAY 4

Now mean girls are the reason why

I change my clothes a thousand times

Before I walk out the door

I never really cared much for fashion. My sisters were the shoppers and I would just wear whatever they picked out for me. However, when left to my own devices, I really wish their fashion sense would’ve rubbed off on me a little more. Have you ever walked into a room and felt like you didn’t belong because of what you were wearing? I know I have. Everything felt wrong and nothing I tried seemed to work. 

Oh, sweet comparison. I hear words like, not pretty, too fat, or too skinny, trying too hard, or not trying hard enough, annoying,” etc. I’ve cried too many times about an outfit that I didn’t feel good in. I let those words define me and be my truth when they are not reality. The reality is that I am fearfully and wonderfully made, not because of my clothes but simply because I’m created by God. My confidence doesn’t come from my shoes, though I love my shoes, it comes from Jesus. Who cares what I’m wearing if I’m walking in that room with Jesus? Have you noticed that the best people to be around aren’t the ones that society might deem “cool” because of their fashion sense or their ability to do all the TikTok dances? The best people to be around are the ones who don’t care what other people think. They aren’t worried about anything except what Jesus thinks about them. 

I want to be someone who walks into a room with confidence because I’m listening to God’s word. He says I’m fearfully and wonderfully made. I’m His. And that’s all the confidence I need. I hope you know how much He cares about you. I hope that’s how you think about yourself today. You are fearfully and wonderfully made. 

Prayer: Lord, some days I don’t feel very confident. Give me a confidence that only comes from You. Give me courage to speak encouraging words to others.
