-The me of 4th grade who was told by another student, "My dad says you got fat over the summer."
-The girls who message me on facebook to tell me that they are being told by all the kids at school that they are ugly.
-The me at 18 who stood on a balcony at her senior prom and thought, "No one will ever want me."-The girls who come and find me at the end of a session to say that they never knew someone else had the same story.
-The me at 22 who began a downward spiral of over-eating and then conveniently ridding myself of the evidence.
-The women who desperately desire to improve upon His workmanship with knife and plastic.
-The me at 25 who cried lonely tears into my steering wheel.
-The young women who text me on a daily basis asking "what do I if I hate the way that I look?"
-The me at 28 who felt so alone.
-Every time I hear a girl tell me, "I can't eat that... my mom says I am getting fat."
-The young women who will find themselves in the seats of a church in Arizona tomorrow night.
The sleepless nights, the stress, the preparation. It's all for them. It's all for Him.
