I haven’t blogged here in what feels like about a million years…long story, but it involves the busiest semester of my life and a 50 hour per week nanny gig. Suffice it to say, I’m back, and I think this is officially one of my new favourite songs. Enjoy!
“I Stand”–Idina Menzel
Lately, I’ve been listening. I hear single friends, still single, who are not happy with that. And I start to feel sorry for them, and then I realise: I’m still single too. Same boat. That doesn’t bother me as much as what I hear that way, way too often accompanies this state: low self esteem.
Get this straight. Get it now.
You have something to say. Your words are beautiful and valuable. I want to hear them if no one else.
You are beautiful. You may think no one wants to see your face, but I do.
You are unique, and because of that, the world doesn’t have enough of you yet. Keep bringing your unique gifts.
People may tell you you’re not smart enough, not gifted enough, not beautiful enough. Don’t listen to them. They are dead wrong.
I want to hear you. I want to see you. I want to share our hopes, our dreams, and our thoughts together. And I mean that.
You Are Loved (Don’t Give Up)
Josh Groban
This is such a sweet Christmas song…I remember when it used to get airplay on the local Christian radio station…lyrics are on the video!
