a bunch of rambles rolled into one.

I've had lots of earth-shaking, ground-breaking, amazing ideas for posts lately, but guess what?  I can't remember any of them.  Normally when I think of a post, I can head to my computer, start a draft, and save it.  But not now >.<

My computer's still being fixed *heavy sigh*, so yes, I'm at the library doing my weekly post.  Hopefully we'll have it back soon, but until then I 'spose I'll just have to settle for weekly library-trips, which aren't all that bad I must admit.  Books, movies, computer time...eh, I can live with that ;)

I kind of figured you might be wondering what's been up with me (or not...).  Well, if you're reading this post I guess you are wondering...moving right along...

Summer's been going great so far.  I went to Holiday World with my youth group and had a blast.  I rode the world's #1 wooden rollercoaster, The Voyage, and survived ;)  Raced down (what else?!) the Jungle Racers with the other nine of us that went, like, 5 times in a row.  I think the lady working them was getting annoyed just a bit...but oh well.  It was my favorite part of the whole day!  We walked single file with our boards all on the same side and filed up the stairs like a kid-army or something.  It was pretty hilarious.

I've had sleepovers with my bud, Shan, and plenty of girl talk sprinkled inbetween.  X-men marathons, peanut butter pie, and diving for volleyballs in the front yard.  Oh yes.  We're awesome :)

And now I'm working VBS and it's a *glorious music, like angels...oh, you know!* concert theme.  You know how I am with music.  So it's pretty cool :D  Go Fish remixed traditional songs (Jesus Loves Me, B-I-B-L-E, etc, etc.) and made them Vacation Bible School-worthy.  Not only are they catchy, they're teaching kids what matters most in life.  Anyway, I'm working Rec, which has been wild and crazy (but really fun!).  Can't wait to see how the rest of the week pans out.

So...yeah.  That's it, haha :) I'm really bad at wrapping up posts.

you ARE beautiful.

I know you've heard it a million times, and each time you don't believe it.  I know that it means nothing coming from me, but here's the thing.

It's the truth.

I don't care if you're a size one or a size ten.  If you're super tall or a munchkin from The Wizard of Oz.  If your hair is blonde, brown, red, black, or some crazy awesome color like neon pink.  If you have the latest trends or clothes from a consignment store.  If you're Dad's a millionaire or if the daughter of an average Joe.  If you're ingeniously smart or if you have to stop and think.  If you have a boyfriend or your single.

You ARE beautiful.

But if you still aren't convinced, keep reading.

Want nice skin?  God tells us that those who look to him are radiant, and that there'll never be shame on their faces. (Psalm 34:5)

Concerned about clothes? The lilies in the fields are beautiful, and they don't even have clothes.  So why so you be worried about the price tag on your shirts and the label on your jeans? (Matthew 6:28)

Worried about everything in general?  God said 'a woman who fears the Lord will be greatly praised' in Proverbs 31.  Does it say the skinny girls will be praised?  The ones with clothes from Abercrombie and Fitch?  The ones with a boyfriend?  NO!

It says that the God-lovers will.
