Confidence Looks Good on You

Sis, I used to hide my smile.

Not because I didn’t have joy — but because I didn’t like what joy looked like on me. Specifically, my gap. That tiny space between my teeth felt like a billboard of imperfection, and I had let it speak louder than my laughter for far too long. When it came time for photos, I’d tighten my lips, tilt my head just right, and try to hide the very thing that made me, me.

But over time, God began to peel back the layers of insecurity I had so carefully covered with filters and angles. He showed me something powerful:

He didn’t make any mistakes when He made me. That gap I once hated? It’s part of my story. A signature of my smile. A reminder that beauty doesn't require permission from perfection.

Today, I smile wide and without apology — because confidence is not about having it all together, it’s about trusting the One who put you together in the first place.

To the women reading this: maybe you’ve got your own “gap. ”Maybe it's the way your voice sounds, the way your body curves, or the way your past echoes louder than you'd like. And maybe you've convinced yourself you need to shrink, hide, or “fix” something before you show up fully.

Hear this:

You don’t have to wait to be perfect to walk in confidence.

God made you with intention. You are fearfully and wonderfully made — and not one detail was a mistake.

And at the same time, if there’s something you desire to grow in or improve — that’s okay too. Growth is not rejection of who you are; it’s an extension of it. We are meant to evolve. Because anything that doesn’t grow… is dead.

So, embrace the journey. Stand tall in who you are today, even as you stretch into who you're becoming. Don’t shrink for comfort. Don’t edit yourself for approval. Don’t hold back your smile — or your story.

Go in confidence.

Not because you’re flawless, but because you're fully known, fully loved, and still growing.
