I'd much rather be a woman of true beauty, than a girl with "hot".
1. Self-Worth
She knows that her value is not defined by the opinions of people, but rather by who she is in the One who made her. When she looks into the mirror, she sees a reflection of God’s own image. There is no rare or glittering jewel or metal that could compare with her worth. On this she stands with confidence, never seeking for the approval of people because she has already been approved by God. Makes a woman beautiful.
2. Trustworthy
Her friends, family and God do not lack confidence or trust in her. She always follows through on commitments, no matter how small it may seem. You can always count on her.
3. Goodness
She is a vessel of joy and kindness, like a healing medicine to the flesh and soul. People are excited when they see her coming. They hate to see her go because she always brings life through her words and actions.
4. Work Ethic
She works diligently and efficiently.Even when the job seems less than ideal, she always works with a cheerful heart and a constant gratitude for the ability to work and provide.
5. Self-Discipline
Consistent good habits in her life like getting enough rest, proper nutrition, exercise, and spending time in prayer reflects the commitment to take care of her over-all health. This enables her to care for the people and other priorities in her life more effectively. One cannot be selfless, if they are not selfish.
6. Nurturing
She nurtures and cares for the needs of not only her family and friends, but those without their own families to lean on. She always seeks for ways to help someone and she does it. She treats everyone with the same love and respect, regardless of any circumstances. She only hopes for the same in return when she needs it.
7. Vision
She recognizes that her God-given gifts and abilities should not be taken for granted, but rather are quite profitable and for this she continually gives thanks. She joyfully refines her gifts and uses them strategically to inspire good things through them.
8. Service
Whether it be at the soup kitchen or something as simple as going through her old clothes to bless someone in need, anything to help lighten their load, she knows that serving others makes the world go ’round. It blesses others, but blesses her even more so. She always sees where she can help someone and never turns a blind eye, but gives a hand.
9. Financially Savvy
She spends a little, gives a little and saves a little. In other words, she knows how to be balanced and treats herself appropriately after paying for the necessities. She blesses others because she has been blessed. She sees where profitable investments can be made and she saves her hard earned money. She is capable of living on her own and does not seek out a man to get her out of financial trouble.
10. Dignity
She is always aware that she could be impacting someone’s life. She holds herself to high standards for the way she dresses, speaks and behaves for the sake of her own honor and for the sake of those younger girls who are seeking a role-model. She does not allow temptations to have a foothold in her life.
11. Resilience
Her foundation is solidly rooted in the Divine love of God, therefore, she is not easily shaken. She is comforted in knowing that when she is faithful and thankful during trials and hardships, that she will safely come out of the storm even more prepared and sharpened for a spiritual promotion.
12. Fearless
She welcomes the future in all of its unknown mystery. Even if she does feel afraid, she does what she has been called to do anyways. Being bold and courageous in the middle of fear has produced great victories throughout history. She always lets her faith be bigger than her fear and will continue to do so.
13. Wisdom
She knows that the words she speaks come with great responsibility and impact, even to those she does not know are listening. Therefore, she is mindful in habitually only speaking words of wisdom and guidance. Therefore, all who encounter her will be blessed because of her. Gossip, slander, idle talk and negativity are strangers to her lips.

Do not forget to strive to be beautiful on the inside. It is what really matters.
