Girls: Stop Judging Yourself—You Are A Beautiful Sunset

Allow yourself to be worth what God made you for.

"When beauty isn't concealed and saved, then it loses its marvel. Like if the sky was always a beautiful sunset then it wouldn't be that amazing."

Just think about that for one second. If we always dressed to impress and to show men that we are women, there is no marvel, no wondering. If the sunset was always perfect and beautiful we wouldn't enjoy it. We wouldn't think, "wow, that is a really pretty sunset" or "wow, I can't believe that God created something that beautiful." We would just think, "oh, another sunset."

Now, I don't know about you but that's not how I want to be viewed. Oh, just another girl. I want to be able to conceal what I have to offer so that way its unique, it's one of a kind, and it's beautiful.

In today's society, women spend 99% of their lives getting judged. Oh, she is too prude, oh, she is a slut. Not only do us girls judge one another for what we wear, what we weight, or what we do in our free time but we allow men to judge us based on what we wear and how we talk and what music we listen to and we allow men to judge our worth off of proving we are a women by what we wear.

Trust me, they know we are women. And if they are any type of a decent guy they won't want you to show everything you have to everyone. Just as God only allows for his creations and sunsets to be enjoyed when He intends for them to. He doesn't give us beautiful sunsets every single night just as we shouldn't give away our beauty like it's free game.

If God can create something as beautiful as a northeast Nebraska sunset, imagine how beautiful we could be if we all chose to be.

I know that all the time girls say, "Let's pick each other up, not break each other down." "Let's embrace one another's beauty and build our self-confidence." "Let's all be friends." And in this sad reality we live in, that does not happen. Not only do girls constantly judge others, but they also think, "I need to be skinny like her," or "I need to be perfect like her."

NO ONE IS PERFECT, but no one is like you. I am not going to tell you to all be friends and love one another and girls be nice to girls. BUT, I am going to tell you, allow yourself to be worth what God made you for. Don't let boys tell you your worth by the tightness of your dress and don't let girls make you feel inadequate for the way you look, talk or act.

Let God judge you, because he made you the way he makes the sunset—beautiful, unique and concealed.

Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes.Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight.

1 Peter: 3:3-4

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
