Like a lily...

"Like a lily among the thorns is my darling among the young women." Song of songs 2:2

This has been one of my favorite verses since I was a young girl. I clung on to it many times when I didn't fit in because of my faith. I have always wanted to be God's girl. A good daughter to him and loial in serving him. I have held true to my beliefs and at times it had caused me to sacrifice alot. But I wouldn't change anything.

Yesterday my husband and I were sitting outside at his parents ranch enjoying the day/weather. When he started to play fetch with the dogs. And when he raised his arm to toss the ball his tattoo showed. I have seen this tattoo many times in the almost 3 years of marriage, but yesterday it caught my eye in a new way. Because on the inside of his arm where he has the bottom of his tattoo there is a bright blue lily. This lily is beautiful and truly stands out in many ways it's color tho is what caught my eye and caused me to wonder about the lily. So I asked my husband what a lily represents. "Humility and devotion " is what he told me. A few things that make up true beauty and make a woman stand out among others. True beauty comes from the things that make you stand out, not blend in. Hold tight to the things God has given you that make you stand out. For they make you...you and you is beautiful. Be a lily among thorns!
