Katie's prayer: Barlow Girl's "Mirror"

A lot of times when I'm doing something, I feel the need to have noise of some kind in the background. Music, TV, whatever. When I have music though, I tend to stop what I'm doing and sing along. So when I'm at home, the noise factor is usually covered by the TV. Since I moved into my new place, I determined I can't really afford cable and I can live without it. Because of this, my TV show choices are not many and usually not good. Nevertheless, I have found myself watching such shows as Rupert, Babar, Judge Joe Brown, Judge Mathis, Big Brother, There Goes the Neighborhood, and More to Love. I'm not a proud watcher of these shows, but yet, I have been watching, or rather listening to them.

During today's song I was reminded of that last show - More to Love. It's basically The Bachelor with plus size people. The show really bothers me for many reasons. But one reason is that some of these girls have spent 5 minutes or less alone time with the dude, but in their interview time, they are professing their love for him. They just know that he is meant for them. Seriously?! You can't know that after 5 minutes. But thinking about it... I think the reason they are professing their love is because they finally met a man who loves them for them, who doesn't care what size they are, a man that thinks they are beautiful, a man who just wants to love them. Thinking about it more, I thought that they just needed to be introduced to Jesus. He loves you for you, He doesn't care what size you are, He thinks you are beautiful, He just wants to love you. You don't need a man ladies, you just need Jesus! (:

And then through all this thinking I realized the same is true for me. God loves me, thinks I'm beautiful and just wants to love me. What more could a girl ask for?

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
And to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me
