The Only Mirror Selfie I'll Probably Ever Post

Body image can really be tested when you're pregnant. It becomes so easy to build a habit of comparing yourself to other women, pregnant or not, and to constantly be worrying about things like weight or feeling beautiful.

No amount of pretty photos, likes, comments, looks, words or hookups will define you, your beauty or your worth and the more you strive for those things the more you will continue to search for more. Your identity is not found in man but in the Son of Man- the one who died so that you would know just how loved and precious you are...
