Egypt exemplifies everything we want to run from: The chains of depression because I'm not good enough, the prison of sin and addictions because I have made bad choices, the self fulfilling prophecies, because of the degrading words that have been spoken over me.

Yet God used him and the treasures that were hidden in him to set the entire nation of Israel free. Follow me through these pages and let's discover the treasures that are hidden in you. Treasures that can enhance your life and the lives of those you meet along life's highway.We will tap into the attitudes that make us pleasing to God. We will follow the map to becoming the person that only God knows we can become. The map not only directs us through attitudes of the heart and a spiritual walk with the Father but gives hints for enhancing our outward beauty with ideas for fashion, hair, and make-up. Did you get to play dress up as a little girl, twirling around in mom's high heel shoes and looking forward to the day when you could dress like the movie stars and even paint your face with blue eye shadow and red lipstick? If you did, let's reminisce together, waking up that little fairy princess that lives in each of us, and together we will give our image a new boost. If you didn't get to play dress up as a little girl well it is not too late. Hop in buckle up and away we go. We're leaving Egypt and what a joy ride this will be as we search out The New Me!
