What Makes You Beautiful

I had no plans to blog today. No thoughts, no pictures to share
but then I woke up with a song running through my head, and I had to share it.
This song is a newer song, as in....it's not from my middle school or high school days. I'm familiar with it because I hear it on the radio. I wanted to post it to prove that fallacy to be false, you know the one. The one that says the current generation of popular music is all junk, and all the older music (i.e. "from when I grew up") is the only good music, and "they don't make good music anymore," or "all today's music is junk." Well, you know some of it is good, and some of it's not. Just like when I was growing up. Just like when you were growing up. It wasn't all good. None of us ever want to admit it, though. Just like not all of today's music is bad.

Another thing is that I'm kind of a silly romantic, and daydream about my sweetheart singing me songs or taking me dancing, or surprising me with flowers. You know, just silly girl stuff. I don't really expect all that from my husband. He has his own sweet ways of showing me love and affection. You may think this is silly, but I kind of consider the songs in my head when I wake up in the morning a kind of message from God, and a kind of encouragement. He knows how much I like songs and can relate to them. He knows all the silly parts of me, like wanting songs sung to me (well, I guess all 5 of my readers know, too, now, haha ). Soooo, in a silly girl, logical kind of way.....I consider this a song message from Him to me this morning. Take it however you want, but read the lyrics and listen to it.

You're insecure,
Don't know what for,
You're turning your head when you walk through the do-o-or,
no make up
To cover up,
Being the way that you are is eno-o-ough,

Everyone else in the room can see it,
Everyone else but you

Baby you light up my world like nobody else,
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed,
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell,
You don't know oh-oh!
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh-oh!
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful!

So ccc-come on
You got it wronggg
To prove I'm right I put it in a so-ong
I don't know why
You're being shy
And turn away when I look into your ey-ey-eyes

Everyone else in the room can see it
Everyone else but you yeah

Baby you light up my world like nobody else
The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed
But when you smile at the ground it ain't hard to tell
You don't know oh-oh!
You don't know you're beautiful!
If only you saw what I can see
You'll understand why I want you so desperately
Right now I'm looking at you and I can't believe
You don't know oh-oh!
You don't know you're beautiful
But that's what makes you beautiful!

did you know this??

Zephaniah 3:17New King James Version (NKJV)

17 The Lord your God in your midst,
The Mighty One, will save;
He will rejoice over you with gladness,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing.”

When my babies were small, you know what I did? I did what all moms do. I nursed and rocked my babies. I quieted them with my love and sang them lullabies and songs. I rejoiced over them with singing. I nurtured them, just as God does with us. Yeah, I think He has some feminine qualities like love and nurturing. Just think of Jesus never rejecting the children and always welcoming them and blessing them. Can't you picture Him singing them songs? 

Anyway, thanks God for the nice songs in my head when I wake up. I'm listening......
