Sometimes...it's just life

Women's need to be beautiful can become the most important thing in their lives.  They will do anything to have someone look at them as if they are the brightest star in the sky.  Magazines tell us we need to be a size 3 with big boobs and long flowing wavy hair, but God made us how we are.  We can't change that.  Why should we even want to?
It took a music video depicting some "uncomfortable" situations to draw some people's attention to the crisis we have.  We need girls to understand they are beautiful the way God made them.  They shouldn't idolize these models or actresses.  God sees each and every person as gorgeous and beautiful beyond comparison!

Beauty

Twirling in my little dress
Covering my lips in color
Curtsying as people pass
I am beautiful.

I have wanted to be beautiful ever since I could remember.  It's this desire each woman is born with, but it's not just physical beauty I desire.  I want deep, inner-soul beauty that explodes with every smile, penetrates every soul.  I want to be a beautiful person.  By feeling beautiful, I feel loved.
Dancing has provided a way for me to feel beautiful.  I twirl and spin and dip, and I feel like the prettiest woman in the world.  In this video, it's not the woman's hair or eyes or figure I envy.  It's the look in the man's eyes when he holds her tight.  It's the smile that shines across his face when she spins into him.  I want to see that same look in someone's eyes when they see me.  To see their face light up when I walk in the room.  I want to have the Love God intended me to have.

You belong among the wildflowers
You belong in a boat out at sea
You belong with your love on your arm
You belong somewhere you feel free.
