Identity

Identity.
The clothes you wear.
The color of your hair.
Are you a prep or a jock?
Are you smart or the class clown?
Identity.
Who are you?
The world tries to put you into a category.
The world tries to tell you who you are,
who you should be.
Identity.
Who am I?
I am a daughter of Christ.
I am quite loud and silly.
I love art and hate science.
I would die for my family and friends.
I love life.
Christ defines who I am.
I can not be put into a category.
Who are you?
What defines you?
Don't let the world decide who you are.
Discover it yourself.
What you will find is different but beautiful.
God Bless,
Rachael

Real Beauty

The dictionary defines beauty as "the quality present in a thing or person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind." But who can really define beauty? It can be so many different things! There is physical beauty like a good body, there is authentic beauty like a great smile or interesting eyes, and there is inner beauty that comes from the soul. Beauty cannot be defined by twig thin girls in magazines that wear pounds of makeup. God defines beauty because God created beauty. Look at the world around you. The simplicity of a flower, the amazing designs on butterflies, or even the colors the fill the sky during a sun set. God is an artist. We are His most precious creation making us the most beautiful creation. We just have to believe it. God created us the way we are for a specific purpose. All the flaws you see are perfect in His eyes. You are His princess... try to start seeing yourself as one.

Here are some pics of beautiful girls that I know.. both inside and out.
