I was looking at videos on YouTube when I came across a young girl singing BarlowGirl's song "Thoughts of You". It's been a while since I had listened to this song and I almost forgot how much I loved it. It's a simple yet amazingly beautiful song!
The first time I heard it I broke down in tears. So many times I've tried to say how thankful and grateful I am for everything that God has done in my life but I always come up short. Whenever I'm in a thanksgiving mood, I always hear this song. I can't help but get swept up in the words.
For those of you who hasn't heard this song.... Here's a link to it on YouTube. It doesn't have the lyrics there, but I've posted them here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=It_AYv7wtZc
Thoughts of You and how You changed me Fill my mind
Without You where would I be
So even though I've tried to express my thanks
It never comes out how I hoped
I want to say so much more
So with these simple words
I'll try
I love You
My heart is Yours, only Yours
I long to give You all of me
My everything, my everything
God I never could repay You
You gave everything
Without You where would I be
You still loved me even when I Pushed You away
You stood there and waited
Till the day I'd return
I hope you all have an amazing day!
God Bless!

Operation Beautiful
I am a HUGE fan of Superchick's and they posted a blog on their myspace about Operation Beautiful. It's such a beautiful concept (no pun intended) and I think we all need to jump on board. What is operation beautiful? It's a movement of telling everyone that they are beautiful.
So many times I've heard girls say how they're ugly or how fat they are. I can't count the times that I have said that. But with this mission we all have an opportunity to change someone's day! And who knows... you just might save someone's life! I've been to a point where I've felt so horribly about myself that I couldn't stand to even look at myself. But just one small thing made me smile and it changed my day, my life. How can anyone pass up on an opportunity to make someone smile, or to change someone's day/life?
All you have to do is take out a piece of paper and a pen and leave a positive note where someone can see it. I say let's change the way we think about ourselves! This is just a small step in the right direction! I am definitely on board!

TWLOHA Day
So today is TWLOHA Day!! If you don't know what that is it's To Write Love On Her Arm. If you still don't know what it is, go
here-> http://www.twloha.com it'll explain everything!
TWLOHA is an amazing organization! Their intentions are incredibly beautiful! And I totally support them! However... There are people out there who use this org as a way to get attention. They'll only buy and wear their shirts because "it's cool" or because they saw their favorite celebrity wearng it. Have we become so insensitive and so concerned with being "cool" that we fail to see the reason and meaning behind the things we support? If you only support something just because someone else is then what's the point in supporting it? And I use the word support VERY loosely!
Why am I so worked up over this? Because I personally know what it's like to struggle with both depression and self injury. And I think it's incredibly insensitive for someone to show their support for something they don't know anything about. All except for seeing their fav celebrity "supporting" it, so why not be like them? Celebrities are people too!! They are just like me and you!
So if you are one of those people... and if you don't know the story behind TWLOHA, please go and educate yourself!
