A former Victoria Secret Angel, Kylie Bisutti, gave up her career as a model in order to get back on track with God. Ms. Bisutti won a contest in 2009 that was run by the lingerie dynasty Victoria Secret . Since then, she had been posing for magazines and catalogues, and touring the country to promote the brand. Last year, however, she made headlines when she decided to quit the profession altogether, citing dedication to her husband, her faith, and her realization that she didn’t want to use her body to promote sex. It was during a sexy shoot for a magazine when she decided it was time to quit:
“That’s when it hit me. I was being paid to strip down and pose provocatively to titillate men. It wasn’t about modeling clothes anymore; I felt like a piece of meat. The next day, I broke down and started sobbing. I was in my bedroom and dropped to my knees and started to pray. ‘God, why did you have me win the Victoria’s Secret Angel competition if it was going to make me feel this way? I’m not honoring my husband. I just want answers!’ That was two years ago. Today, I’m living in Montana with my husband, enjoying the fresh air and volunteering with our church.”
It is an amazing thing to witness when the God of All Creation changes a person’s heart. I have heard time and time again, “You can’t change a leopard’s spots.” My response to that statement is usually, “I agree, but through Christ Jesus anything is possible. I mean, God made the leopard, if He wants to change his spots, He can. So if God chooses to change a person’s path by changing their heart first, He can do that too.”
