I must admit, sometimes standing in front of the mirror isn’t my best time. It’s so easy to see all our flaws, isn’t it? My time in front of the mirror normally sounds like this…
My face is too fat.
The bags under my eyes look horrid. Sleep girl, you need sleep.
My skin is terrible. Yikes.
And this nose. Oy. Broken one too many times.
The scars on my stomach are ridiculous. Can you say road map?
How others can even look at me?
So from now on, rather than listing our faults, listen to His familiar small whisper.
I saw your beauty when I made you (Genesis 1:31)
You are a new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17)
I will never leave you (Joshua 1:9)
Your husband see’s your beauty (Song of Songs 4:7)
I can see your beautiful heart (1 Samuel 16:7)
I’m captivated by your beauty (Psalm 45:11)
Once I was able to focus on Him rather than myself, the image I saw in the mirror was quite different.
I see hands that type a blog to encourage others.
I see a heart that overflows with love for my husband, children and so many more.
I see eyes that are so quick to weep with those who weep.
I see scars that I praised Him through.

Chicken and Biscuit Casserole
1 tube of Pillsbury biscuits
1 can condensed cream of chicken soup
1/2 cup of Sour Cream
1/2 stick of butter, melted
1 can of peas
2 cups cooked chicken
1 cup mild cheddar cheese
3 Tbs milk
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Mix soup and 1/2 cup sour cream. (If you heat them together on the stove your biscuits will come out less doughy on the bottom. I usually heat my mixture in a large saucepan first – This is step is not required, but helps if you don’t want a doughy bottom of the biscuit). Then stir in chicken, peas, milk and melted butter. Flatten this out then top with shredded cheese.
Put biscuits on top of the cheese you just sprinkled. Just layer them in a single layer. If you did buy the thicker biscuits I would probably flatten them out a little, or cut them in half so they are not as thick, they will cook better.
Cook for 35 minutes or until the biscuits on top are golden brown and the mixture underneath is hot and bubbly.
