What makes you different, makes you beautiful

What makes you different… makes you beautiful to me-Backstreet Boys

You don’t run with the crowd
You go your own way
You don’t play after dark
You light up my day
Got your own kind of style
That sets you apart
Baby, that’s why you captured my heart

I know sometimes you feel like you don’t fit in
And this world doesn’t know what you have within
When I look at you, I see something rare
A rose that can grow anywhere (grow anywhere)
And there’s no one I know that can compare

What makes you different, (alright) makes you beautiful (alright)
What’s there inside you, (alright) shines through to me
In your eyes I see, all the love I’ll ever need
You’re all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me

Hey, yeah yeah yeah
You got something so real
You touched me so deep (touched me so deep)
You see material things
Don’t matter to me
So come as you are
You’ve got nothing to prove
You’ve won me with all that you do
And I wanna take this chance to say to you

What makes you different, (alright, yeah yeah) makes you beautiful (alright)
What’s there inside you, (alright) shines through to me In your eyes I see, all the love I’ll ever need
You’re all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful

You don’t know (you don’t know) how you touched my life (touched my life)
Oh in so many ways (so many ways) I just can’t describe
You taught me what love is supposed to be
It’s all the little things that make you beautiful to me (so beautiful)
Oh yeah, yeah

What makes you,
What makes you different, (what makes) makes you beautiful (to me)
What’s there inside you, (there shines) shines through to me
In your eyes I see, all the love I’ll ever need
You’re all I need, oh girl
What makes you different, makes you beautiful to me

Everything you do is beautiful (so beautiful)
Love you give shines right through me (shines right through to me)
Everything you do is beautiful (ooh, ooh ooh ooh oh)
Oh, you’re beautiful to me (to me)

Be you.

This Week’s Picks: February 24, 2013

Hey everyone! I hope this week will be better than last week. It was a frustrating week, last week.
On the bright side, I slept like a boss. I have had a terrible sleeping pattern.

Despite the hecticness, life has always granted me many lessons throughout. So, here is a melange of all that is running through my mind.

1]

I love these head wraps.

2]

If anyone of you ever considers starting to belly dance, I just want to give you a fair warning… hip circles and undulations can seriously injure you (and if you are careful it will hurt for a bit). If you begin doing these movements and feel like someone is snapping rubberbands at your lower back-STOP.

A lot of the moves are not hard, but if you can’t perfect one-DO NOT decide to be overly dedicated and repeat the movements for an extended period of time. Even if you feel nothing then, while doing the moves, you will.

The lessons should come with a warning label, so I am warning you.

Philippians 1:6: Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Whatever He started, He will finish in you.

Song of the week: If You Believe 🙂 We are goin back in the day.

“When the sinner sees his Saviour dying upon the cross under the curse of sin in his stead, beholding His pardoning love, love awakes in his heart. The sinner loves Christ, because Christ has first loved him, and love is the fulfilling of the law. The repenting soul realizes that God “is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). The spirit of God works in the believer’s soul, enabling him to advance from one line of obedience to another, reaching on from strength to greater strength, from grace to grace in Christ Jesus.” Review and Herald, Nov. 1, 1892

Lesson in faith

“Your greatest lessons in faith will be learned in the dark[…] but hold on because when God moves, you’ll know.” -Dr. Tony Evans

“As you are being a blessing, you are setting yourself up to be blessed.” Dr. Tony Evans

“God does some of His best work when when you are asleep; in the dark. God does His best work when you think He’s doing nothing.” Tony Evans

Despite all of the bad

Even if that is true… Never doubt God’s goodness.

“But my God shall supply ALL your need according to His riches in glory by Jesus Christ.” Philippians 4:19

“And whatsoever we ask, we receive of Him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” 1 John 3:22

“And this is the confidence that we have in Him, that, if we ask any thing according to His will, He heareth us; and if we now He heareth us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desire of Him.” 1 John 5:14,15

“And we know that ALL things work together for good for them that love God, to them who are called according to His purpose.” Romans 8:28

When you look up

“As man is converted by the truth, the work of transformation of character goes on. He has an increased measure of understanding, in becoming a man of obedience to God. The mind and will of God become his will, and by constantly looking to God for counsel, he becomes a man of increased understanding. There is a general development of the mind that is unreservedly placed under the guidance of the Spirit of God.” Review and Herald, July 19, 1887, Ellen G. White

This week has been one of sleep deprivation. In fact… I can’t even type more words.
Get inspired.

1] Passport to Paris-language barrier

2] If things aren’t working out well, tell God to do something amazing with your mess, so He will be glorified.-Tony Evans (paraphrase)

This is so true. I saw this so clearly between last Thursday and yesterday. Wow. Somethings you wish for you are later glad you never happened.

God pays attention to every little detail. Believe me. Every detail.
