I'm not perfect. But His love is.

Hi, My Name is Niesha, What's Yours?

In the process of preparing for this wedding, I'm learning so much. It's as if God is bringing all kinds of stuff to the surface. Stuff that I've been hiding and holding onto. Or things that I tried not to notice. A few things I didn't want to admit. In the midst of all this, I'm getting to know the real me. I love chick flicks. I can't sing. Tuna with pickles and lots of mustard is my favorite sandwich, but Top Ramen always brings a smile to my face. Taking care of myself is okay and it shouldn't be a source of guilt. I am bossy AND loud. Fuchsia is my favorite color. I am overweight and I need to DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!! I've been a people pleaser for far too long. I love reading. I have the gifts of prophecy and exhortation. I will not be a superstar. I am not dark skinned. Jealousy has been a frequent visitor of my heart. Flowers make me smile broadly. I like the skin I'm in, but one day I'll fall in love with it.

I don't want to hide my flaws anymore. I just wanna be me. I wanna be free! Is that okay? Will you still love me in the morning?
