say what?

i've been told a few times this week that i look like twiggy. when i first heard that, i must confess that i didn't know who she was. so a quick google search answered my question! this is twiggy...a lovely model from the 1960's:


my first thought was "haha i wish!" she's absolutely stunning. (: so of course i had to read up on her and find out some stuff about her...i want to know who this girl is that i feel i'm being compared to!

twiggy was an exception to the norm. she, according to standards, should never have been a model. she was too short to be a model and had a boyish figure that was uncommon for models. she went against expectation.

the more i researched twiggy, the more i fell in love with her character. she is who i would love to be. someone who goes against expectations and "the norm." i don't want to be who people expect me to be. in most cases, i don't even want to be who people want me to be.

so yes...when i saw that picture of twiggy, my first thought was "i wish i looked like her." but as i break things down in my mind, i am grateful for who i am. i am chosen. i was called to be me. to be abigail joy anthony. and there is no higher calling for me than that! (: i am simply to be who God wants - no more, no less.
