"When everything you do
Don't seem to matter.
You try but it's no use
Your world is getting blacker.
I'm sick of all these beauty rags telling me I'd be beautiful if.... If I had this celebrity's body. This girls hair. That girls clothes. Wear this designer. Do your makeup like this. If you do this_____ your beautiful. If you look like this______, then your beautiful.
I'm sick of it!
No matter what I do, the world's idea of who they deem beautiful is constantly changing.
"Every single day
I chase my own tail
Like a rat inside a maze
Gotta get, gotta get, get away
I'm running out of time
For me to break this.
I'm tired of feeling like
I'm never gonna make it."

I'm so freaking sick of me and every other girl hating their body. Wishing constantly for a complete body/personality makeover. I'm sick of when we feel that our world is so black that we starve ourselves or workout so much that we pass out with exhaustion.
We are all beautiful! We are all individually beautiful, unique, and wonderfully made in God's image.
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well" ~Psalm 139:14
"I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well" ~Psalm 139:14
This is one of my favorite bible verses. Challenge to those struggling with their looks-- Write this verse and stick it everywhere you'll be. In the car, on your nightstand, and especially on mirrors. Say it to yourself out loud in the mirror and pray for God to help you believe it. It helps me on a daily basis.
"When every time you fail
Has no answer.
Every empty promise made
Is a reminder.
No one can make this better
Take control, it's now or never!"
Empty promises made to us from people, jobs, relationships, drugs, money, beauty rags, ect. Their all reminders that no one or no thing can fill this void inside of each and every one of us. We've all got a God shaped hole. That's why none of the stuff in this world is making it better. All this sick stuff going on in the world, all this stuff that pains our hearts and keeps us up at night; its telling us this is not how life is supposed to be. We don't belong here will all this pain and suffering.
There are so many ways each individual can rise up and make a change for the better! Find what your passionate about and go from there! For example: I love makeup, and I found this amazing cosmetics company called Radiant Cosmetics that takes a good amount of the money from all the products they make and they use it to help end Human Trafficking. Fighting Human Trafficking one Lipstick at a time is their motto. http://www.radiantcosmetics.org/
Helping out at food kitchens. Donating old clothes and shoes to someone in need. Raising awareness for hunger charities, or sponsoring a kid every month so they can eat and go to school.
The possibilities for us to raise our hands against everything we're sick of is endless!

"Sick of it!
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance.
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands..."

Hey readers! Thanks again for taking time out of your busy day to check out my blog and read my new post! I hope you enjoyed it.
I will admit I struggled quite a bit on which direction to take this week. With so many ways I could have written about this weeks song. Its definitely not my favorite post. I hope you feel like this weeks post wasn't a let down. I just feel this is the way is should go, even if only one person who I'll never know about is affected by it in a good way. At least that's what I hope for :) So bear with me guys. Love you all and praying for you all! Can't wait to see your Sick of it Pictures for the contest!!!!!
See you all next Skillet Saturday! :D

If you're sick
If you're sick

Your world is getting blacker.
When every time you fail
Has no answer.
Every empty promise made
Is a reminder.
No one can make this better
Take control, it's now or never!
Are you sick of it?
Raise your hands,
Get rid of it!
While there's a fighting chance.
Are you over it?
Bored to death?
Have you had enough regret?
Take a stand, raise your hands...
If you're sick of it!
If you're sick
If you're sick
If you're sick of it!

Very nice blog KayLeigh. Your offering of issues you're passionate about as well as things in which you are currently doing to help resolve those issues is very encouraging. Keep up the awesome work. The only thing I would add for anyone reading the comments, if you deal with self esteem issues let me encourage you that there is a God who loves you more than you could ever imagine and He only wants the best for you. His name is Jesus and all you need to do is ask Him for His help. He will become your hero. I love the contest idea KayLeigh, I have something I would like to add if you could contact me. bert.creative.mind at gmail dot com I would appreciate it. Take care.
