Hi Girls,
I have the first pic, and it's not very flattering. It was at the end of the event when I need to straighten my hair and touch up my lipstick, hopefully I can show better pictures as I get them. I had asked for a picture with the other hidden leaders, but the kids wanted to be in there also, how could I say no?
Now I went to church this morning to teach. The kids were great, the girls wanted to talk about it, guys wanted to play games. I had to prove my ears were not pierced, but they all had fun.
The mothers and pastors wives stopped me to visit. They asked what I learned. I told them these three things; 1) Women are artists - They get up each day and selects their clothes and accessories, and their faces are pallettes requiring an artists touch. 2) Women must have strong self confidence and self esteem. I felt walking through mall that the women who watched me were more judgemental than the men and felt self conscience about it. 3) When women say their feet hurt when wearing heels, it's not their heels that hurt, its the balls of their feet and their calves. They loved that and want me to talk to their husbands.
They all appreciated how much effort I put in and thanked me for doing it. The Senior Pastor did a waving bow saying "I'm not worthy." Several moms said they loved my outfit and said they wanted it. Wow! If I had the chance to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing. I plan to spend the day with my wife and remind her how lucky I am to have her. I stopped her yesterday to tell her this," I wanted to say thank you for letting me do this." She said "No problem." That's the best she can do in dealing with this, but that's better than "No."
Thank you all,
Colleen
