You know what I don't get? Why everyone harps so much on what people are wearing or what they look like. I just came across this page on Yahoo as I was looking through the news that was basically just bashing different looks celebrities have had (see the page here). We really have no right to complain about what they wear. We criticize if they are too "normal" and then we criticize when they are too outlandish. Why don't we all just make a pact to give these people (and each other a break)?! Each and every person on this Earth has been fearfully and wonderfully made, so why does it matter whether they want to dress like a cowboy straight out of 1872 or a punk rocker from New York? So go ahead, don't match your clothes, don't straighten your hair, don't cover your face in make up. You are, as Francesca Battistelli put it, free to be you!
[Steps off of soap box] In other news, I've got something I've been working on for a couple of days now that I'm really excited about so when I get it finished I'll be sure to post it.
Listening to: Beautiful Beautiful by Francesca Battistelli
Looking at: My dog. She is absolutely adorable right now! I think she's a little mad at me, though, because I have the light on to type and she wants to go to bed.
Thinking about: How incredible and terribly wrong it is that Jesus would die for a sinner like me. Another post on that will come though.
Attempting to: Empty my mind of anything that isn't of the Lord. I over-analyze EVERYTHING and since I'm so busy filling my thoughts up with random crap, I can't really focus on God like I should.
Wondering: Why we were out of school today when we don't get out for other religions' holidays. Again, there will probably be a post on this.
Wondering, Part 2: How I can be a better daughter, not only to my parents, but also to my Heavenly Father.
Since I don't want this post to be over yet, I'll give you a recap of some random things that have happened.
My youth group had movie night last week and the senior high watched The Passion of the Christ. Even if you disagree with it, I really encourage you to go watch it if you haven't already. I was wary of it because of several things I had been told about it, but it opened my eyes up more than I could ever have imagined. It's been in my head literally all week. Also, one day this week I started writing the first thing that I would consider any attempt at "creativity" I've made in a long time. It's been really really difficult, but in the way that makes me hunger for more. I want to get it finished but at the same time I don't want it to be over because I'm not sure when I'll find something like that again. I guess that's just my insecurities talking haha. Well I'll stop boring you now. I love you and Jesus loves you more. His blood poured out for that love a couple thousand years ago and continues to cover us daily. Goodnight friends.
