Shape Wear

Have you ever gotten the hebby-jebby’s before? You know, when it feels like someone is watching you? Recently, Facebook has been giving me the hebby-jebby’s big time! I’ll have a thought and then instantly whatever I was thinking about pops up as an ad!! I’m completely weirded out by it. 

Lately, I’ve pondered over the idea of shape wear. It is a bit bewildering to me. Imagine my surprise while scrolling through Facebook and internally processing the thought of magical material (that sucks you in like a sausage in casing) when there it was! An ad for Spanx popped up! I think my jaw probably hit the floor. 

For one, how the heck is Facebook reading my mind? And second, as I watched the ad, I truly was mystified. 
I did some research on shape wear. As it turns out, it’s been around pretty much since the beginning of time. It’s existed in every form under the sun from whale bones to steel! In Ancient Rome, it was attractive to have a small chest and large hips so women tied down the puppies and let everything else hang out. Clearly I am in the wrong era! 
I do not own a pair of Spanx YET as I am a jeans and t-shirt kind of a girl. But if there’s ever the need to cover second-butt, shape wear just might be the answer. To clarify, “second-butt” is what I call the layer of fat under your derriere. If you don’t have second-butt, congratulations! If you do, welcome to the club!

As odd as it may sound, I feel like I got a divine revelation from something as simple as shape wear. As I watched the ad and saw the before and after transformation it made me think of God’s word. Just go with me here… if I get so caught up in my day and believe me, it’s easy to do!.. and if I forget to make time for Jesus, it’s obvious. I feel it. I miss it. If I go too long without intentionality then I can slip into a dark mentality. (Wasn’t trying to rhyme but there you go!)
My mind falls to mush and my perspective is completely skewed. But when I make time, even if it’s not as much as I’d like, it’s as if Holy Spirit multiplies it and I have this download of the sweetest epiphanies straight from Heaven. My perspective is different, my heart is transformed and I’m a much better version of me…. much like wearing Spanx. 
So ladies, I just want to encourage you to find some time with Jesus. He’s always with you but be intentional about your time with Him. Grab your coffee. Grab your Bible. Spend some time leaning in today to hear what He has to say. It will transform you and your whole day!
