VOLUNTEERS needed for an INTIMATE MAKEOVER!

In the American Society MAKEOVERS have become a pastime for many because our culture has placed it as a necessity to boost self-esteem and quality of life. MAKEOVERS have been created to fix and/or improve physical areas in our bodies, homes and many other areas.

How can we not forget one of our favorite shows Extreme Makeover? How the homes of many people around our nation have experienced a MAKEOVER to improve their quality of life.
A few years ago a spin off of this show gave Physical MAKEOVERS to people that weren't happy with their physical appearance and needed a boost for their self-esteem. They seemed happy with the end result because they asked for the lips of Angelina Jolie, buttocks of J-Lo, breasts such as Pamela Anderson and the list goes on. Their families were present to see the end result and how their eyes lit up with the transformation of their loved one. How many of us wished we were one of the participants to nip tuck and fix a couple of rolls, to enhance some areas and so on.

Sincerely, I dreamed about it a few times and still think about it once in a while but when reality hits I realize other areas in my life that need a MAKEOVER. These areas might not be appreciated by the eye but my soul, relationships and my God will appreciate it.

Have you taken time lately to meditate on who you are, what purpose God created you for, where are you now and where are you going? What are you like and don't like about yourself? What it is hurting you? What are your goals in life for yourself as woman? How you value and love yourself? How are you feeling about your health? How are you feeling about the role you have at home, work, community and at church and what are those challenges?

This is the calling for an INTIMATE MAKEOVER.

One that starts from the inside out. One that God has designed especially for you.

This is when you begin to re-discover who you are, what you love to do, what you want to do, what bothers you, what hurts you, what would you like to change, what you want to continue to do and what would you like to share.

Yes, Yes. I know it seems like a lot of questions to think about or to try to answer at one time. I am not asking you to answer them all at the same time but take your time to meditate about them. I will like to hear your opinions and experiences when you have tried to answer these questions.
"And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2)
I invite you to accept this calling. We are in this together. We will find areas that we will like to experience a MAKEOVER but it takes commitment, self-disclosure and prayer. I encourage you to begin praying for guidance on your INTIMATE MAKEOVER. It will be an experience that will change your life.
Lets stay connected,
