Born this way...and I don't mean the song by Lady gag me.

One thing you should know about me is I am extremely negative when it comes to myself. I've always been my worst critic. I've never liked how i looked, and looking in the mirror was my biggest fear. Now, obviously I know I'm not ugly. But I constantly didn't think I was good enough. Because of this, I've learned a lot about myself coming on a tour called "Image is everything."

"Satan is a deceiver. One who gives a false impression." -Janette...ikz

I was constantly worried about what everyone else thought of me. When I wasn't worried about the only one who mattered.

"I find beauty in what you may see as ugly, because somehow Christ saw beauty in me." -Janette...ikz

Why do I constantly want to change the way I look when Christ made me this way.


But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not look on his appearance or on the height of his stature, because I have rejected him. For the LORD sees not as man sees: man looks on the outward appearance, but the LORD looks on the heart.” -1 Samuel 16:7

Don't let anyone tell you you aren't good enough, don't ever use somebody to tell you all the things you want to hear. Listen to the LORD. He will tell you exactly what you want to hear. You have to believe it for yourself before you let anyone else tell you you are perfect. Because in Christ's eyes, you always have and always will be perfect to Him. For we are His children. And don't ever let anyone stop you from being yourself. So for all my ladies out there, know that you are not alone. We all get down on ourselves occasionally. But you were made in Christ's perfect image. So don't ever change. You are beautiful just the way you are! Sometimes, even I need that reminder when I live with 6 other amazing beautiful women of God...who like to work out after every show in every hotel...while I eat a bag of doritos. Haha, but I'm gonna start trying to exercise or eat healthier. Not to change my image, but to be healthy. For your body is God's temple.

Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God? You are not your own, for you were bought with a price. So glorify God in your body. -1 Corinthians 6:19-20
