When I see your face
There's not a thing that I would change
'Cause you're amazing
Just the way you are
And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl you're amazing
Just the way you are

you're insecure.

 don't know what for.

you're turning heads when you walk through the do-o-or.

don't need makeup.

to cover up.

being the way that you are is {enough}

~~~

you don't know you're beautiful.

that's what makes you beYOUtiful

"that's the thing about inner beauty: unlike physical beauty, which grabs the spotlight for itself, inner beauty shines on {everyone} catching them, holding them in its embrace, making them more {beautiful} too"

 

this world really shines a light on outer beauty. the hair. the eyes. the nose. the skin. the body. everything. and if you fit this certain mold, you feel like you're not good enough. like you won't be accepted. like if your face isn't good enough, neither are you. and that's the opposite of how it's supposed to be. when God created us, he made our hearts, and chose to have a human form to cover us. but He knew what mattered was the HEART. what we look like on the outside isn't even important. i have seen so many people that are gorgeous on the outside, but what was on the inside shown through, and if that wasn't beautiful, it automatically made their face less beautiful. when God looks down at us, does he see look at our face? No. He could care less what we looked like on the outside. when God looks down at us, He looks at our hearts. and he can either see a beautiful, loving person, or he can see an ugly, hateful person. and i can so often become caught up in what i look like on the {outside}, i feel like that's all that matters. and i think "well, if i look good on the outside, surely that's all that matters". i might not say those exact words, but that's really what i'm thinking. why would i ever think that was true? because the world wants us to think that's true. that, even if you have a nasty heart, as long as the {outside} looks good, you'll be accepted. but i have seen SO many people who are not particularly, in the worlds view, "attractive" on the outside, but their inner beauty was so strong that it shown through and made them one of the most attractive people i had seen. i know i've posted about this many times, but i felt like i should post about it, because i've been thinking about it lately. i do NOT want to just fall into the mold of the world, and look just like the rest! because, if you do that, how are you being different? you want to be noticed, and unique, but if you're trying to fit in with the world, then that's the last thing that will happen. you'll just look like the rest of the crowd, and you'll just be passed over. if you want to be noticed, be {different}.

beYOUnique

because you are BEAUTIFUL. and no one can ever steal your glow. you are one of a kind, dear, and you are beautiful just the way you are

 

so smile today, lovely. because you're beautiful :)

Hello :)

Hello lovelies :)

Wooowwww....it has been forever since I last posted. 5 months! I'm so sorry it's been so long. I feel like I should let y'all know why exactly I took the break, and what's going on in my life!

When I decided to take the break, I felt like my Christian walk really wasn't that strong. I felt almost like a hypocrite. Doing these "perfect" sounding Christian posts, about how to be a "good Christian" and everything, when I myself really wasn't growing in my walk with God. I hardly ever even read my bible, and my prayer life had really grown weak. now, im not saying that now im a perfect person....far from it! i am still working hard on growing in Jesus, and He continues to point out sins in my life ever day. God has pointed out many sins in my life that I had been holding onto, that I really just needed to rid from my life. First of all, I had started to get really obsessed with non-Christian music. Now, not all non-Christian music is bad (obviously not, because i still love one direction ;D), but you really need to give yourself guidelines. Now, the last thing I want to do is give you all rules for what you can and can't listen to, but I felt like for in MY life, it wasn't best to be listening to all the secular music. So a couple months ago I decided to remove ALL secular music from my life except for one direction. I don't really necessarily feel like one direction's music is sinful, but even sometimes I can get carried away with them. So, no matter what music it is you enjoy, it isn't really necessarily "bad", unless YOU make it that way! By making them into an idol. And I'll be the first to admit that I have done that. That's why i decided I needed to remove a lot of it from my life. So, just wanted to get that out of the way, and let y'all know what was goin' on ;) so from now on, I'm going to try my hardest to make this blog an uplifting place to come to, to receive encouragement when you need it, and really just to point you to the one and only person that you really need....and that's Jesus Christ. 

Now, to catch up a little on my life (yay!), I thought I'd post some pictures to give ya a little sneak peak of my summer :)
