Apparently, the time between high school and college (or work) is the perfect time to change your bra size. You know, to make sure you are “fully” equipped for the future?
I don’t think that surgery in and of itself is sinful (if you’ve had one please hear no condemnation in my tone — we’re all on the same team fighting the same battle here). But, I seriously wonder what message we are sending our girls when altering their body is deemed important to [prepare] them for the future.
Often, in the graduation program, you’ll read what the graduates have planned for their future. How silly would it be if the graduates’ goals read like this:
“Jill received her Bachelor’s degree in education and hopes to someday wear a size two.”
“Kylee graduates today with honors. She aspires to have six-pack abs before she turns twenty.”
“Sara was a part of the National Honor Society and hopes to go to college and earn a B.A. in Swimsuit Modeling with a concentration in Bikini Body Hotness.”
Friend, don’t lose your vision.
Don’t miss the big picture.
Don’t get so focused on what’s going on with your outsides that you forget about the reason you were created.
You have great purpose. You have a higher calling than achieving thigh gap or sporting cellulite-free skin. God has a far greater purpose for your life than just looking good in a bikini.
Believe it.
Love,
Heather
