Perfect is boring.



"I was talking with some friends a few days ago about body image.It is such a big topic that I almost feel like it is too big but none the less I decided to write about it because it has been on my heart lately so I feel I should. 
I think this is something that has effected everyone at some point in their life. We see someone who appears to have life figured out and we want to be like them. But why? If everyone was like everyone else life would be so boring. And the bible says that we are created in God's image. I believe that to him we are all B-E-A-UTIFUL and we should spend more time working on the inside then the outside. I know this is easier said then done but shouldn't this be what we focus on?
I guess what this rant of mine comes down to is that I have been thinking a lot about how we view ourselves. We all have so many different opinions that it would be very difficult to please everyone. However God sees the inside and when it comes down to it isn't his opinion the important one?

Anyways on to something less heavy? I'm not sure that is the right word but oh well it will have to work. Lately I have been on a big Jeremy Camp kick. Not that I am complaining, just saying. Oh and school is done for the semester! Well except exams which I still need to study for. This semester was really hard for me. I had a hard time scheduling time for everything and everyone I wanted to see and spend time with. Although I must say that I did have fun. My clinical teachers were amazing and so was my clinical group. 
Oh and dana and I decorated the house the other day and put up the Christmas tree. We decided it was time since we have been singing Christmas carols since November 15th. I love Christmas. It is a wonderful season. Not just for the happiness that comes with it but because of what it means. Oh and pictures of the house will follow this :) anyways I should probably go to bed.. Night world"
