Mirror

Mirror, Mirror on the wall, Have I got it? 'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect... So sorry you won't define me. Sorry you don't own me

Who are you to tell me that I'm less than what I should be?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen to the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try!

Mirror, I am seeing a new reflection... I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me .
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare! I know He defines me.

Who are you tell me that I'm less than what I should be?

Who are you? Who are you?

I don't need to listen to the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try

You don't define me....You don't define me...You don't define me... You DONT DEFINE ME!!!

Who are you to tell me that I'm less than what I should be ?
Who are you? Who are you?
I don't need to listen to the list of things I should do
I won't try, no, I won't try!

Mirror by BarlowGirl. Listen to the song here.

Lately Ive been able to get back into the gym a little more regularly.

When I am there working out, I close my eyes and just listen to my music.

I try to focus on the words of uplifting music and not think about the pain or sweat, or how much time I have left on this machine or that.

Its really in these moments where I can freely, without distraction, focus.

Surprisingly, I feel like this is a time when I can actually feel or sense God speaking to me.

A lot of the times its through a song I am listening to.

Songs that Ive often heard over and over, but am now almost like hearing for the first time.

Because they suddenly have new meaning to me.

They suddenly make sense to me, apply to me.

Bring tears to my eyes.

When I heard this song "Mirror", thats what it did. Brought tears to my eyes and down my cheek.

Right in the gym, on the elliptical machine... Gosh how many times have I cried in the gym already! ;)

But I felt a sense of comfort at the same time. 

Like God wanted me to hear this.

I know I have talked a lot about beauty and my insecurities, especially through my weight loss journey.

Its no shock that I am an insecure person. 

Though, yes I have come a long way in my confidence.

But its still a process.

Baby steps.

Im not just going to one day be insecure, and the next day not be.

No matter what anyone says to me, or what my reflection shows me in the mirror.

But listening to this song it almost felt as if God was speaking to me.

"Don't let the world define you. YOU, my child were made in MY perfect image. I don't make mistakes, I certainly didn't make one when I made you."

He knew I needed to hear that message.

Because He knows my heart.

My fears. My insecurities.

I felt so blessed by that powerful, much needed, little message that He comforted me with,

I also felt He wanted me to share that message with you.

Whether its for those of you, like me who have heard the song before, but never really hear the message of it.

Or for those who have never heard the song before at all.

I encourage you to take in this message. 

Go Listen to the song, or just read and re-read over the lyrics.

Let it soak in.

KNOW that God loves you and made you for a purpose, a reason!

You are His child and the apple of his eye.

And beautiful beyond compare, to Him.

I encourage you to smile today.

To love yourself, and show love to others.

Lets be encourager's.

Lets not be the mirror of the world and its unattainable standards!

Lets be a mirror of God, who says "come to me as you are."

Much Love & Hugs,
