For the past couple days I've been thinking to myself...what the heck are you going to blog about next?! I feel lead to speak to younger girls. School is getting ready to start back up and some young girls are about to make the huge step from Jr High or as they say now "middle school" to the High School...Its a big deal! I remember when I was going to high school and I remember how absolutely terrified I was, new people, new teachers, new school, new girls, new and cuter boys...wow right? theres a ton of new emotions entering high school. In my blog the other day I blogged about making a difference and I hope every young person read that because now that you are going to a new school(or even your old one) you have a chance to make a difference in someones life, like the girl that doesn't feel like she fits in anywhere or the lonely boy who is a little different than you who sits alone at lunch. I'm sure there was a day when you felt the same way make a difference say Hi sometimes that's all it takes not only to brighten someones day but to make a new friend! (this goes for older folks too theres new people that start work with you all the time sometimes a simple hello works wonders! trust me I'm taking my own advice because I'm shy but I'm trying!)
Now Girls....some of you may feel like you aren't good enough your not pretty enough. Pretty isn't about whats on the outside. In the eyes of God you are his creation and you are made to be wonderful and he thinks your beautiful. Some of you may feel the need to be like other girls. DON'T, go your own way.. God made you to be one of kind. Some of you may feel like the only way you will ever feel pretty enough is if you have a boyfriend I can hear your thoughts now "but Miranda a boyfriend would make everything perfect duh." I know right I was there once but let me tell you a boyfriend doesn't make everything perfect and a boyfriend doesn't always make you feel as pretty as you already are. You need to know that you need to fall in love with yourself because if your not happy with the person you see in the mirror you'll never be happy with anyone else. When you look in the mirror you should see one of Gods masterpieces he created you for a purpose and when he sees you he thinks your beautiful. If you never feel special remember your special to him. The whole boy thing isn't everything that everyone makes it out to be, attention is addictive and deadly (ha ha) When a boy gives you compliments it becomes addictive because it makes you feel wonderful on top of the world and then its only goes farther and farther and farther till your too far gone and then you feel awful and all those compliments and the way hes broke your heart doesn't add up to the pain you feel now trust me I speak from experience. So remember if he really loves you and really cares and really likes you for you and loves you for you HE WILL WAIT FOR YOU!
Now I wanna share a devotion I read quite a while back......"Peter says that beauty has more to do with your inside than your outside. God cares about your heart and your attitude more than the shape of your face or the color of your eyes. If you ask Him, God will reveal to you the beauty He created in you. He created you for a purpose.Your life gives Him much pleasure. He thinks you're beautiful. You are precious to Him. Can you see what He sees? If you feel like God created you for something more than beauty contest, then begin to search and pray for his purpose. Ask Him to show you your strengths and help you use them. The most attractive people in the world are the ones who are confident about their purpose. They know what their life is supposed to be about,and they are hard at work to fulfill Gods plan for them. If you cant stand the way you look, then ask God to show you what he has in mind for you. Ask Him to make you into a person who looks into the mirror and likes the reflection. Focus on the awesome things He has built into you. Ask him to replace your insecurity with His purpose."
SEE FOR YOURSELF

A song that fits: Plain by ZoeGirl
He made you feel plain
When he forgot your name
Well let me tell you something,
I have felt the same.
I know you're in pain
But there'll be another Boy along the way and
God he made you beautiful and
There's nothing about you thats plain.
You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky
You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
Theres nothing about you thats plainYou tell me you're not the type
The kind of girl that they like
And your a little insecure about
How you look in their eyes.
Well fashion will change,
Trends come and go everyday,
But God only made one of you and
There's nothing about you thats plain
See your mind, it is precious
Though your heart may be restless
And your eyes they will see
All that you're meant to be
'Cause your spirit is strong
And your soul carries on
You'll keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothing about you that's plain
You know I've had my days,
When I feel out of place....yea
I look at who I am,
Cover what I can ,
I wish it all would change. But...
Take the makeup away
You see the same girl still remains..
She may not feel that beautiful
But theres nothing about her thats plain.
You may have felt plain,
But...God, He knows your name
Let me tell you something, yeah...
There's nothing about you that's plain
