Beautiful scars…

Everyone has scars. It could be the pain that stays in your heart when someone you truly love and admire does not reciprocate that same passion; it could be the bitterness of growing up in lack that shortens your expectations and opportunities in life; it could be the fear of living in a violent relationship; the regrets of past mistakes; it could also be the evidence of an accident.

Scars can make you insecure and feel less than beautiful, especially physical scars – the type that is all out for people to see. But do not let your scars stop you from living.

If your heart is heavy of pain – it is time to let it go. The scars that remain from years of un-forgiveness is so damaging that it can live you looking many years older than you really are. If you have regrets from the past, be consoled that you are human and you make mistakes. The most important thing is that you lift yourself from the gaffes you have made and bounce right into the present where you have all the power to re-write and edit your script of life!

And if it is a physical scar, do not let it control your life. Stroke the scar, remember the incident if you wish, but be thankful that you made it out alive; and you still have a chance at life! Life is the fair game we’ve all been presented with, who cares if you’ve got a bump on your chin?

Live your best life!

I have lived with my physical scars for years now – after a near-death incident, and every day I realise just how beautiful I am despite them. I have a wonderful life, a great career, a family of love – what more can a young woman ask for?

So as I welcome you to my world, I want you to come just the way you are – imperfections are allowed; we are here to learn, to grow, and become.

What scars do you suffer? Let us share and comfort one another.

–          Stephanie

    I used to have warts on my face and neck and they used to make me very self conscious of myself. I then went for a facial do and had them dematologically removed. It was until after I had them removed that I realised they had been a part of me and people associated me with them. All the time I thought people noticed them on me yet some never took notice. I learnt then that however way you look, you are who you are and you are beautiful that way. God created us differently and we need to be proud of the way we are. If I had learnt this before I would not have removed them for I would have been proud of myself, beautiful and wonderfully made!!!!!

    We need to learn to embrace our imperfections and understand that it is a combination of what makes us who we are.

    It hurts wen you meet some one, you think you two had something going, and then suddenly he doesn’t call u anymore, doesn’t return ur calls even wen u call.
    It really hurts, but it HURTS MORE wen you realized he just used you to satisfy his sexual desire.

It s ever present these days that a lot of mishap comes to peoples life some for no just reason but most important is the act of empathizIng and encouraging other,it makes life wrth living.As time goes matters of the heart will be poured out and I knw soothng will come from this medium of yours. To the beauty part I love Estee Lauder products and I do combine Mary K too.

      u don’t want to rush into anything because other people are married u feel the need to do same..granted you’d feel lonely which is ok (after all God made mankind to e together and gave us the desire to want a partner) but be careful because marriages are in shambles these days…Satan is working so hard to damage that beautiful arrangement of God called marriage..BUT make sure you’re happy as a single person s that u can be happy as a married person..some people are married yet feel lonely..some married people envy single people..do u sometimes wonder why?
      be patient and find a man who loves God more than he loves u..then he’d treat u just as God desires a man to treat a woman and he’d respect that institution of marriage that God has made and do anything to preserve it…
      don’t wonder why…youre so beautiful and pls don’t lower your standards just to get a man…keep yourself busy and fill your mind up with wholesome and good things..
      with time you’d attract what u deserve if u look out for the right qualities.

    i lisp when i was a little girl, people teased me a lot so it made me very uncomfortable.it actually affected my self esteem when i was growing up till a time i decided to look at my positives instead of my weakness. I made what i call honest list; it simply writing my strengths and weakness on a sheet of paper and find a way of dealing with my weakness.after that i got to know that my positives far outway my weakness then i told myself hey girl take a chill pill cus u are a great lady.i opted to teach to enchance my speech and public speaking.whew my fears are gone cus i took that bold step.i currently teach in a senior high school and will start my masters in september.

      read ur ten commandments and drop like hot charcoals all that does not glorify God, when its that time d spirit pushes u to wrong things, say within urself ‘get behind me satan, am a verified child of God’

    Hiya Step, thumbs up on your new blog…

    I got a sad story to share..Some would say was i stupid or dumb, but unless you’re in my shoes, do not to pass judgement..Only i experienced it all and i alone understand best..I’ve got a huge scar deep in my heart and as i write this, i can’t help or stop the tears from falling…For 4 year, i loved a man with all my heart, i was loyal, i cared for, was faithful, was patient and it the end, he betrayed me.. It still feels like he took a very sharp knife and stabbed be in the chest real deep. i thought i had a best friend, confidant & lover, but what he did in the end is the worst thing anyone can possibly face..

    i have been in an on & off relationship with a stranger (thought he was my best friend till he betrayed me) for 4years. In between, we’ve discussed getting married and somewhere along the way, he changed his mind and anytime i make a decision to move on with my life, we manage to come back together. Though there were girls somewhere along but we still managed to find our way back to each other. it just seemed to me that God kept bringing us together for some reason. We’ve gone through so much together but we still managed to stay together. We’ve grown together over the past couple of years and are so much attached to one another. So what happened? Thats the answer i don’t have today.

    In all the years we’ve spent together, we’ve talked and planned marriage severally, but he just wouldn’t step up. Bear in mind that he was the one who always talked of marriage and me being the woman he’d like to spend the rest of his life with. He’s well accepted and known in my family, so am i in his.. So recently we had an issue and i gave him an ultimatum to step up and do the right thing he was supposed to have done years back, but he couldn’t. What he went and did was propose to someone else, his ex gf from way back. Till date i still have questions without answers. How, why, where and what happened? We were so close that we saw each other everyday so i cant still place when and where he managed to go visit or spend time with this girl let alone propose to her. Presently, im still in shock and hurt over the whole incident. And worst of all, he wasn’t man enough to tell me to my face that he was seeing someone else or that he was gon’ propose. i had to find out from outside. To be honest, he NEVER gave me any indication that he was seeing someone else God be my witness cos he never changed toward me.

    Now barely 2 weeks after he’s proposed to someone else, he’s all up in my grill.. Telling me shit of that im all he’s ever wanted in a woman and wife but for someone reason he felt God guided him that way…Ive tried to stop communicating with him, but still yet he’s still struggling to be in my life. He says he’s engaged but yet he wants everything from someone else (me) People say i should cut him totally that he doesn’t deserve to be in my life, and still he wouldn’t give up. Ive stopped picking his calls and reading his messages, but i have to be totally honest, it’s the hardest. This is someone that’s been part of my life and me his for 4 years. Im looking for answers and i cant find cos I’m wondering how someone who seemed to love me so much just walk away like that.. This is someone who has told me repeatedly that he cant live his life without me, so what happened and why???

      @Tasha, I feel your pain. I was in the same situation some years back. We had dated for over 4 yrs and the next thing I heard was he’s getting married. He couldn’t even tell me. Bottom line, his parents didn’t like me cos I’m from a different tribe. Rather they picked an uneducated illiterate for him. I attended his pre-wedding party. It is truly difficult letting go. I felt cheated and worthless, how could he do this to me. We went our separate ways for a while but came back together. He divorced the wife after a year and a son but he still couldn’t marry me. Sometimes some things are just not meant to be. God has bigger plans for you. The hurt will not disappear in one day, one month or one year because you would never understand why he chose someone else over you. It is a man been just a man. Nothing more. Move on babe. When one door closes another one opens. God is your strength.

      Same happened to me last year I got introduce to a guy he lives abroad, we got talking as we talked everyday for nothing less than 16hrs in a day he came back to see me, he was married to a white lady who left him for another tho. So we met it was magical everything was moving so fast his family welcomed me and he just took good care of Me his mum would ask him when are we going to pay uju’s bride price and all he went back I found out I was pregnant, he still wanted to marry me. I was reluctant at first bcos I didn’t know how my family would accept him I even had to pick a fight with my sister cos she didn’t like the fact that he was married before. ( not physical fight) evetuallly he met my sblints the accepted him, my dad I thot would not like him loved him and all then it all came crashing down. I miscarried in law school he came to see me by the time I spoke to him again his countenance had changed, gradually he stopped calling and stopped taking my call he had. Done my introduction and was about to pay my bride price/ trad marriage I had made my clothes but I noticed he wasn’t forth coming. He even started comparing me to his ex wife which really got me pissed, I went to see hi. When I got back for xmas he was just beating about the bush and all I knew within me it was over but I still didn’t wanna lose faith. 1st January my dad said I should swallow my pride and go see him. I did well I wish I didn’t bcos I had never felt so insulted. I got back home, packed my things went bck to abj for school and I decided within me that regardless of how much it hurt I was gonna get over him I deleted every contact I had of him blocked him from my facebook, and thank God I refused to cram his numbers so I was never tempted to call him. I just said that only God knows y it happened bcos I got to see a different side to him and some of his siblings that were forming loving me, they even went on to say I was spoilt and I came eat their brothers money…. Oh boy the guy contacted me recently saying high I was just mad I deleted him from that chat group, he re added me on BB changing his name and still couldn’t say a word to me I also deleted him. I pray that oneday I will have the courage to truly Forgive him I can only be sure I have forgiven him when I see him face to face and don’t feel like he wronged me. It has left its own scar as I find it difficult trusting anyone that tells me he loves me I hope to get married someday but i’m not as trusting as I was before I tread with caution but then we can never be too careful we can only pray God directs our footsteps. I’m glad it’s all over now because I don’t know what God saved me from. I am confident you’ll rise above this too. I just thank God.for giving me a die hard.spirit.

    Guess d emotional stay put, its beta to have a physical scar than an emotional one. The truth about scar is that with time it fades away. Have had emotional scars through relationships,but am grateful to God that after all is said and done,I still have a better me. Scar are a reminder of a life events which are eventually our past,so its not worth it when we dwell too much in the past. We should be a moving train,just like Brandy sang in her song. Mary j blige,also said in her song,each tears there’s a blessing make you wiser than before and stronger

    Try and get back to your pre-pregnancy state. Let your husband remember why he chose you above the rest. You can use bio-oil for the stretch marks (even slim people have stretch marks). Lose the extra weight, pamper yourself, dress nice, look hot, give him the best sex he has ever had tonight – read, watch and practice.

      Dear Emmanuel, by God I want you to know that you are loved. You know, I had a similar accident and at some point I thought I’d lose my legs; and I asked the doctor if my leg would be amputated. I was already planning my life without one of my legs. In all of this, I want you to know that no matter what the handicap or limitations are, YOU ARE LOVED! Look beyond the challenge and embrace the life you can afford to live despite your shortcomings. You are alive, and it is a gift. God will give you the grace to keep on with the race of life. *hugs!

    Then he Chipped in……”Hey audience, You no longer have the strength to laugh over a joke you once loved, Yet you have strength to cry over a Scar, Heartbreak and some unfortunate accident that happened a long time a ago…..

    ……….If you tired of laughing for a joke that once made you happy, Then, You should be tired of crying for a scar that once made you cry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Stephanie,
    thanks for this blog. Going through shared “scars” most from different ladies (what a coincidence), I cant help but admire you more! It is indeed helpful, and i dont have to share mine cause I have already found one matching mine 95%! we need to encourage each other, share our experiences, and seriously it helps. Thanks Stephanie I love this blog too bit to miss..

    Scars!!! I’ve lived with mine for since I know what my name is. When I was a child, I had rashes on my legs and they always turned into small sores. As I was growing and paying attention to my looks, I started looking for solution to my skin problem- It wasn’t easy at all. Help finally came when I was in JSS3(14 years) but my legs were left with scars. I never wore short skirts, I had my trousers on most times. I graduated from university and still the shame of exposing my two scarred legs was still there. I worked in a company for 3 years and I only wore skirt one day and ofcourse it was a long one. To cut a long story short, just this year 2012 after I had my first child, I needed to return to work from my maternity leave and I needed to change my wardrobe since I added a few pounds then came another problem – I could hardly get a trouser suit of my taste in my size so i was forced to buy my first short skirt suit. It wasn’t easy wearing that piece to work but I had to. At this time, I was still far from overcoming the shame that came with the scars on my leg. One day, my Neighbour who runs a boutique brought a beautiful dress for me and I bought and wore it to church. The number of people that gave complement on my dress were countless. As I got home that day, I sat down and ask myself why I was restricting myself, why I wasn’t making myself happy by wearing whatever I wanted to wear. From that day forward, I saw no scars anymore, my mind shifted from the scars and today, I wear my short dresses and skirts without fear or restrictions

    What??? I am beautifully and wonderfully created by God,I am perfection itself!! Everyone has a story to tell,everyone has bn through one mishap or another,heartbreaks,loss of loved ones,health challenges,work challenges,financial challenges!! But hey we are all here talking bout them,interacting wt each other ,learning from each others experiences,making new friends,we are all alive!! That means we still have a chance to be better than we are today and once we acknowledge that then we will realise that the only way to go is up and up and better and better,you fall you get up and keep going.

    I have had low self esteem for a long while because of pimples,wen I say pimples nt d one or two girls usually av bt so many on my face. When it came initially,I stopped all forms of socialising I choosed to stay indoors most tymz. It got 2 d point wher pple wuld stop me on the road to ask what was wrong with my face. With time it reduced but left me with so many spots. I’m still battling with the spots though & hoping that with time,I’ll regain my confidence. Most guys love spotless girls & seem to judge by a girls looks.

    Honestly i am touched. we all have scars but we don’t have to let it define the who we are as a person (people). i continue to rise above my scars/weaknesses if i can also call it that, none is perfect except our LORD. it can only get better when we refuse to be conquered by these scars and remember it’s a choice if you choose to allow it define you. choose wisely #remainbless

    I have a scar on my face and those embedded in my memory from childhood, growing up wasn’t easy especially growing up with a stepmum who would abuse you both physically and verbally and a father who didn’t care how nasty his wife was to his children. She would tell me I was good for nothing and how she would kill me and not even my dad will hold her to my death. She would look for reasons to just hit me once she made my head bleed. She just hated us and its not like we were wayward or stubborn kids. She made my dad send me to a boarding school so she could get rid of me. She wouldn’t send anyone to visit me and all it was that bad that one day my dad who was always traveling came to visit me on seeing me bust into tears and that same day instructed the driver to come pick me up from school I was looking so skinny and sickly. Once my school mother got me an exat to leave school my step mum on seeing me pounced oon me she flogged me so much for no reason. When my dad came back he was so happy to see me cos I am the last child from his first wife, but for some reason he went into his room I don’t know what my stepmum told him he started flogging me also…………. Fast foward to university after my siblings left home, my dad called me and told me I was not to be coming home till the end of semester before then I always came home for weekends. So finally the semester was over I called my dad and told him the semester was over and I was the only one in my room that I needed to come home, my father told me he was in lagos I called his manager who told me he was in town. I was devastated but then God always has a plan thank God my immediate elder sister had gotten married that year so I started leaving with her. School resumed I went to collect my school fees and accomodation fees and pocket money like he said I should come for, needless to say I wept at the reception my own father gave me for the 1st time in my life I raised my voice at him. I was 20 at the time thank God for my siblings and his infinite love I did not go begging or borrowing instead I lent to ppl. The truth is I really thank God for my life and my life experiences because seeing me and the way I carry myself you woulmd think I had a lush childhood, in my jss 1 I had no friends bcos they thot. I was from a really rich home and over pampered they envied me bcos of the way I was always keeping to myself, they thot I was looking down on them not knowing that deep down I would give anything to get to see my mum on visisting days that I would give anything to be them. I have a scare one my left eye my stepmum gave me that scare, I love the scare because it is a reminder of how much I can look life inthe face and tell it to bring on its worst because I know that ith God on my side I can overcome. I love my life experiences beacuse It taught me that regardless of what may come my way I will always emerge a victor………. I see my st aunties that mal treated me and made fun of me, I walk up to them and greet them and they have to look twice b4 they can even recognise smalll Uju. They’re lives are a far cry from perfect. I don’t even feel any anger towards my stepmum or my dad bcos I know I am a diamond in the rough. I don’t really tell ppl what I have had to deal with (and lots others I can’t sshare) I just let them think what they wanna think of me. Life experiences either make or mare u to me it made me and I am proud of my scares for they are just stories I can tell my kids when I have them.

    Avocado oil is best used at bedtime since it is a little heavy for using during the day.
    It also offers a clinical range that includes
    clinical super-3 booster, clinical super-3 derma tablets, clinical super-3 exfoliation and clinical super-3 strong itch.
    You need to be applying the tomatoes once a day (twice if possible) and
    keep this up for at least two weeks.
