I am going to sing in the talent show this school year. Of course, I have about a year to wait because it is an annual thing usually held at the end of the year. But that only gives me time to practice, practice, practice and built confidence to sing in front of people. Not just people, a LOT of people.

If I could chose a song, it would be Bethany Dillion's "Beautiful". That song speaks more to the females...so I'll still debating.
Take a look at the lyrics:

I was so unique
Now I feel skin deep
Count on the makeup to cover it all
Crying myself to sleep
Because I cannot keep their attention
Thought I could be strong
But it’s killing me

Does someone hear my cry
I’m dying for new life

I want to be beautiful
And make you stand in awe
Look inside my heart
And be amazed
I want to hear you say
Who I am is quite enough
Just want to be worthy of love
And beautiful

Sometimes I wish I was someone other than me
Fighting to make the mirror happy
Trying to find whatever is missing
Won’t you help me back to glory

You make me beautiful
You make me stand in awe
You step inside my heart
And I am amazed
I love to hear You say
Who I am is quite enough
You make me worthy of love
And beautiful

Bascially it says that Jesus Christ makes us beautiful. A quiet and gentle spirit makes us beautiful and the world standards of "beautiful" is nothing like what God thinks is gorgeous.
Somtimes I struggle with this a lot, especially when I went to Oklahoma City. I felt like major chopped liver because all of the girls there were extremely fashionable with perfect stylish hair and flawless makeup. Here I am a Florida beach bum who doesn't really give a rip one way or the other and its just like...man.....I dont want to depend on makeup or cool hair to make me pretty. Sure, it can enhance your features but when it gets to the point where one can't go to the gas station without makeup, something is wrong.

If a guy doesn't like me because what I wear isn't cool, or because my hair isn't nice looking, then he isn't even worthy of me.

I think I've said this already in a previous journal entry! lol.

I would also love to sing this song by Watermark called "Good For Me", or maybe this upbeat song by Jennifer Knapp called "Surrender".
But then again I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to do a duet with a male to "Glory" by Avalon. Gee wiz, too many decisions!

Last night at church was so friggin' AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't even describe. Mosh is leading worship since James is going to college and he is such a cool kid.

all for now,
