You Are Special (Guest Post)

I’m not athletic.

I don’t look like a model.

I have a ton of quirks.

I’m not a very sociable person.

I talk about photography way too much.

I have a hard time making new friends.

I am messy.

I’m not great at school.

I giggle way too much.

I’m not a great singer.

I have a hard time putting my thoughts on paper.

I’m a very weird person.

But all of this is ok. Just because I’m not great at sports or school or singing; it doesn’t define my self-worth. Just because I don’t look like a model, doesn’t mean I’m not pretty. Mine (and your) personality isn’t based on how we look and the things we’re good at. Instead, it’s based on how we act and how we treat other people. I guess what I’m trying to say is, our flaws do not define who we are as a human being. Just because you don’t look like your best friend or weigh more then they do, it doesn’t make you any less worthy than them.

Psalm 139:13-14 says this: “For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.”

We look exactly how we were suppose to look. God created you and I the way he wanted to and He makes no mistakes. If God wouldn’t have wanted you to have blonde hair and freckles or maybe brown hair with brown eyes or any other color-He wouldn’t have made you like that.

“He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.” -Ecclesiastes 3:11

“But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seethnot as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart.” -1 Samuel 16:7

So don’t try to look like everyone else. Don’t try to be like everyone else. There is only one you in the world, and you are unique. No one else is exactly like you and you are beautiful. Don’t let anyone try to tell you different. ;)

About Jess Ann:

Hey y'all! My name is Jessica Ann Wingard (I go by Jess Ann online) and I come from Small Town, Oklahoma. ;) Best place ever!! <3 My absolute favorite thing to do is to take pictures. Seriously if you looked up "Craziest Obsessed Photographer" my picture would be there! Well, maybe not since I hate pictures of me. Ironic, right?! :) I have recently discovered that writing is sorta fun. I mean how cool is it that you have the power to make people feel emotions like happy or sad (or bored; maybe that's what y'all are feeling right now reading about me! ;)) with a story! Some of my other hobbies are babysitting, (I ADORE lil ones!!! Seriously my little boys I babysit are my life.) baking, hanging out with friends, (surprise! I do have friends. Hah, betcha didn't think so with how weird I am. ;P) playing violin, blogging...and whatever else I think of right after I send this email. I am a Christian and believe that Jesus died for our sins and loves each and every one of us. <3 I am also a HUGE introvert, homeschooler, (heh, that surely has nothing to do with me not liking to talk to people!) and have 2 younger brothers. Well....I should probably go as I have a whole paragraph!!! I like to talk. Can you tell? ;) Thanks for reading all of this...unless you fell asleep..if you did this is just awkward....ok..I'm going now...see ya! -jess ann

The Best Experience in the History of Experiences

Last week, on September 13th, 2013, two amazing things happened. Niall Horan--of One Direction--turned 20! *sends glittery kisses into the wind* I didn't forget you, baby! I promise! I met up with the most amazing person that has ever come into existence . ^^^ *sniffles* Here is a photo of our good-bye hug. Kenz added the glitter. ;) My family and I had to drive about three and half hours, to get to our meeting place--which was a beautiful Barnes and Noble full of amazingly exquisite books [it was quite heavenly]. The whole trip there I was bubbling with excitement. Rocking in my seat, tugging at my hair, belting out the lyrics to any songs I knew when they blasted out of the speakers. I had a little brother to my left, a window to my right and a present in my lap--and a stuffed Pikachu at my feet. o.O Finally , we arrived at our destination. I cannot describe to you the feeling of walking up to that bookstore, and having a someone whom you haven't p...

silver linings

a post inspired by this lovely photo. [ photo via pinterest ] sitting swinging singing head bowed arms hanging voice low thinking blinking shrinking gears turning eyes wide shoulders slumped where did it all go? * * * She doesn't want to look up, only for her eyes to find the dark and terrible surroundings she calls her world. She doesn't want to go back, to the dwelling where words were spoken and exchanged but never taken back. She doesn't want to sit there forever. But that seems like the best option right now. While she swings, she listens and thinks, sings and sinks, the only company she has is the rag doll under her fingertips. It looks worn--just like her. And torn--again, like her. And used--just. like. her. Yet loved--a foreign feeling that has been wasted. She lifts her head to look up at the dark sky, wishing the clouds would split apart and act merciless upon her. Instead, they seem as if to slowly zip open, lightl...

"it's complete"

[ photo via pinterest ] writing. exhaling words onto paper inhaling the smell of ink scribbling furiously shoulders tensing the pencil stops dead in its tracks words are hard writing ceases days pass by no words are exhaled no ink is inhaled the author is taking a break dreams occur inspiration is sparked writing begins again and it doesn't stop "it's complete" two words that mean so much sentences build paragraphs that build chapters that build a book that build a lesson, a story my lesson to you is || don't ever give up thanks for reading. <3 xoxo, Rose pinterest instagram bloglovin
