beyond these beautiful lies.

Sorry 'bout earlier, Scott asked to see my computer and I was on my blog. He clicked on 'new post' and (obviously!) posted. He's a goofball like that :) But he's a great friend and pretty much just a good 'ol boy.

Anyway, back to the real post...

I've got two songs stuck in my head at the moment - "Automatic" and "Eyes" - both by *laughs* Stellar Kart. I mean, who else, right? ;)

Anyway, they're both fun, really catchy, and have great message, but I'm gonna focus in on "Eyes", 'cause it kinda deals with the situation I'm in right now.

The world seems to have a lot to offer-"love", "beauty", "happiness." Doesn't seem too bad, eh? I didn't think so either. But while Christians are supposed to be all about God, our society revolves around me, myself, and I. And it shouldn't work like that. Hence the quotation marks ;) And that's kind of what this song is about. To see past the fake beauty, to see what God sees. Which means seeing past the outside and looking at the heart.

Ya see, I struggle with stereotyping, so it really got to me.

Open my eyes

I wanna see what you see

Beyond these beautiful lies

Open my eyes

To find what lasts forever

Look to the soul that's inside

Open my eyes

So, I want God to open my eyes. To the people who need love. To the people who need Him.

Blessings always & forever,

anna :)

PS - "Eyes" is on my blogPod, so you can listen to it right here! :D
