True Beauty

June 09 2005
I can do a series... ok probably not.

"I want to be beautiful, make you stand in awe, look inside my heart, and be amazed, I want to hear you say, who I am is quite enough, I just want to be worthy of love, and beautiful..." (Bethany Dillon)

"Gaze into my eyes, let me know you'd fight thousands for my love, slip your hand in mine, ask me to dance with you tonight, just ask me, for my love..." (Bethany Dillon)

"I like you the way you are, when we're driving in your car, and you're talking to me one on one..." (Avril Lavigne)

As I read this book Captivating, I'm learning that my true beauty is revealed when I allow my Savior to romance me. And to think, that the Creator of everythig loves, values, and even romances me! Crazy isn't it?

Today I felt very confident. I was having a good day. Well, I went to get a haircut, and I was ok with that, and it turned out ok. At least, I think it did. But the woman did not dry my hair... so I really couldn't tell. Then I was kinda upset... like well crud now my hair's wet. Well, after going home and eating dinner, my hair eventually dried. Before Garrett came over (he's FINALLY back home! yay!) I noticed that my hair dried wavy, but differently than it usually does when I air dry my hair, because it was only part of my hair that was damp. Well, at one point while Garrett was over I went to the bathroom, and I noticed my hair again. And I could see that it had turned out... beautiful. That sounds really vain... but I think it was God telling me... "see, you really are beautiful! Always and no matter what!"

Sometimes I can be such a drama queen... I listen to Bethany Dillon and/or Avril Lavigne to feed my girly needs, and today I learned that music is a way that God romances. All the beauty in the earth, whether through song or creation or whatever, is God's way of calling out to me, and that's pretty awesome.

Girls love to be pursued, and God pursues me daily. Sometimes I don't let Him though. Now, more than ever, I really want to let Him in and work through me.
