"I can't believe I just did that"

This is a post that was written on Monday June 7th.

After I pierced my nose.

But I kept it a secret from most people here at home so I couldn't post it.

So here it is:

I skipped Spanish class today. Got my nose pierced instead.

S/.40= $14 USD. Good deal. And I felt comfortable. Eso es lo más importante (Thats the most important thing). The place had a laid back atmosphere. It was very clean and everything was new and sterile. The guy even showed me the packet with the needle to prove that it was new. So I feel good about it. Strange that I can't drink alcohol or eat pork, ají or fish for a while. Who knew? But yeah, I still can't believe I did it. One minute Audrey, Amelia, Chris and I were discussing it and the next thing I know we plan to skip Julio's class and get it done. So maybe it was a bit spontaneous, but nothing wrong with that. I think I need a bit of it in my life. And I did think about it. I didn't do it to enhance my beauty or because I am insecure about my appearance. I think I did it because I am pretty secure. And I really do like that verse that Amelia shared. I think its going to be one of my life verses. Like, all right God, You are the one who makes me beautiful. Its because of who You are and who You've created me to be. I could adorn myself all I wanted, but without your Holy Spirit inside of me, it wouldn't mean anything at all. I'm Yours.

"I made you grow like a plant of the field. You grew up and developed and became the most beautiful of jewels. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, you who were naked and bare. Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment over you and covered your nakedness. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant with you," declares the Sovereign Lord , "and you became mine.

I bathed you with water and washed the blood from you and put ointments on you...

I adorned you with jewelry: I put bracelets on your arms and a necklace around your neck, and I put a ring on your nose, earrings on your ears and a beautiful crown on your head. ...You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen. And your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect" declares the Sovereign Lord.

[Ezekiel 16:7-14]
