Piercing Removal: Goodbye Sweet Sixteen

Sweet sixteen or sinful sixteen? I let God decide. Dear Lord, I give you my heart. I give you my face. Let it's true beauty be seen and not go to waste... Thank you piercings for the purpose you served but now my purpose is to SERVE THE LORD. He told me it was time... as hard as it was, tears and blood shed in the removal process, it was time. This is something I felt the need to do. I wanted to share my afterthoughts and the face God created. I no longer need what I thought I needed to be seen... to be known... to be somebody... for all that matters is who I am with the Lord and who He is shaping me to be. This is yet another thing on my list of plenty I have and am giving up for God. I thought about not sharing this as there are many things I've given up that I don't share but I felt this may have a deeper message for some so I have decided to share. I'm going to take comments off as this was just too emotional for me and I do not wish to interact (especially get condemned from nonbelievers that don't understand any of this) with this topic. I can brief it up for you but the rest is between God and I. I feel this way for many things at this point and appreciate more sacred and solitude space with the Lord. What the Bible says: "Ye shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord." Leviticus 19:28 (this entire chapter goes over MANY common things people do that are considered sins and do not even know it --- sin = anything displeasing to GOD *IMO*) What MOVED me to actually take action: "What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's." 1 Corinthians 6:19-2
