This post made me cry yesterday. I spent the entire day thinking about God and how much He loves each of us. At this stage in the pregnancy, it's really hard to feel like myself. But I know I'm in here somewhere.. Obviously, I am not going through the same struggle as Stephanie Nielson, but I do know what it's like to forget how beautiful I am. Not the outside kind of beautiful- although I believe we all are.
There is a certain kind of beauty that comes only from within. It shines through when we understand where we came from and how uniquely special we are. I saw it in Stephanie's eyes when she was on Oprah. She is radiantly beautiful. I love her for being so open and honest and for sharing her testimony with millions of strangers. Yesterday God testified to me how proud He is of me and the little things I do every day. And I felt beautiful too.

That's because you are my dear, inside and out.
she is so inspiring. thanks. i needed that too after my rough day yesterday :)and i forgot to watch her on ksl last night!
I first found out about nienie through YOUR blog, and now I read her everyday. She inspires me. I need to write her an email and tell her that. Thank you for your thoughts. When I feel beautiful, I rise up and am a better person. It's important to take time to feel God's love for us. You are an awesome mommy, and I'm excited for baby boy 4 to come.
I was SHOCKED when I read NieNie's post the other day! Seriously some people need to be punched! How could ANYBODY say that to ANYBODY!!!
You are GORGEOUS!!!!!
How about a picture of that cute belly before its all gone!?!?!
Thanks for sharing this. So inspiring! I actually saw her the other day at Gardner Village. An amzing woman. You amaze me too Janet! luv ya!
I also read it and it made me cry too! I love how she turned it from something that could totally ruin a person's day to something that brought her closer to Heavenly Father...so cool.
