Today's theme is Beautiful

It's weird because I made that one post earlier about the beautiful skit and today I dealt with someone not really feeling beautiful. I was out shopping with my mom and sisters, Cheryl and Kelsey, and her friend. Kelsey was having problems finding jeans that fit her and my mom said to her, "You can get a bigger size or lose some weight." I thought that was the meanest thing my mom could tell her. My litter sister is thin!!!! Especially at my little sister's age, a parent shouldn't be saying that. At Kelsey's age, I felt like I was fat and actually dealt with some eatting problems. It's not cool of my mom to say that. My mom grew up always being told not to eat too much because she would get fat like her sisters, so my mom starved herself and stuff. My mom also told my sister to exercise to lose weight.. and my sister is young! She doesn't need to be exercising. It's so stupid. After my mom said that my little sister got upset and was being a poo head the rest of the day pretty much. My mom later told my sister, Kelsey, that she wanted to see what she got from the store and she wouldn't show her. So, I said to my mom, "The reason she is being so mean to you is because earlier you said to her she should lose weight." And my mom said, "What!? She should if she wants to fit in size zero jeans. She should do sit ups or something." And I said to my mom, "You should love her for the way she looks. She's beautiful the way she is." My mom didn't say anything after that. She just walked away. For me, I've just realized that I'm beautiful because God created me. I'm unique! There is no one else that looks exactly like me. To say that you're ugly is being bogus to God. Do you think God creates ugly things!? No way! The only reason people think there aren't beautiful is because of the stupid media. If all girls in magazines were heavy, everyone would think they would need to gain wait to look beautiful. Also.... not everything in magazines are real!!! They use computers and all of that other stuff to mess around with the picture and make the person look 'perfect.' God is perfect and he's created all of us beautiful people. Be proud if you were bigger jeans than everyone else.... lol.... it makes you more unique!!!!! I'm proud if I'm heavier than my mom, my sisters... it's me! I mean.. I don't care if I even wear a bigger pants size! God has made me me.... and I don't mean to be full of myself,.. but i'm confident.. and I'm beautiful. All of you are!!! Something else for some of you girls... ya know how sometimes a guy will tell you that you're beautiful.. and you'll be stubborn and be like, "No way." or "What are you talking about?!" I don't know.. there are so many responses!!! But ya know what I mean. That's stupid to tell a guy that you don't think you're beautiful.. because you are just telling them that they're wrong. If it's what a guy thinks, let him think that, but don't tell him that his thoughts are wrong. I read that once in a book, and I was like "Duh Michelle!!!" lol.. sometimes we don't realize the obvious. The whole point of this blog, we are beautiful creations of God!!!! Woo-hoo! Go all of us being beautiful!!!

    That's something else I worked on this summer, I usually have such a bad self-image, but ya know I have Jesus in me, and He makes me beautiful, I think the more I put myself down, the weaker witness I am, who cares if you were bigger jeans lol, amen!
