Beautiful

Hey LittleItaly!

Good to see you on!

Anyways, I'd like to post lyrics to a song I absolutely love.  You can find the song here http://rescued.typepad.com/Music/BeautifulAcoustic.mp3 .  I hope it will be bless you as much as it has blessed me!


Song title: Beautiful
Artist: Bethany Dillon

I was so unique
 Now I feel skin deep
 I count on the make-up to cover it all
 Crying myself to sleep cause I cannot keep their attention
 I thought I could be strong
 But it's killing me

Does someone hear my cry?
 I'm dying for new life

[Chorus]
 I want to be beautiful
 Make you stand in awe
 Look inside my heart,
 and be amazed
 I want to hear you say
 Who I am is quite enough
 Just want to be worthy of love
 And beautiful

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
 Fighting to make the mirror happy
 Trying to find whatever is missing
 Won't you help me back to glory

[Chorus]

You make me beautiful
 You make me stand in awe
 You step inside my heart, and I am amazed
 I love to hear You say
 Who I am is quite enough
 You make me worthy of love and beautiful

...the start of something great...

I guess this website needs a little explaination. I just spent an incredible few days with a friend I've known for 8 years now. Though life and distance may separate us, there are some things we can just do or be that is so refreshing to my soul. We shared one semester in college that included a new tattoo (for one of us) and graduating (for the other) It was great.

So this is the product of lots conversing about life. We wrestled through things like dreams, fears, desires, insecurity, spirituality, beauty, fitness, lonliness, and belonging. And this is what we came up with: Although our lives may be apart, there are some core issues we struggle with and face daily and sometimes hourly. Things like what is true beauty? Where do we find womanhood? How can I still feel-or more importantly KNOW I'm beautiful when the world preaches size 2 and botox?

And so we start this journey together.....=)
