I was once a little girl, still am I a child seeing as I have a mother.

I was shy, unconfident, weak, and pretty much useless.

I felt bad about myself and I frequently pitied myself.

I looked into the mirror and I hated what glanced back at me.

No matter how many times people called me beautiful or pretty I saw myself the complete opposite.

I made mistakes often, I gave up on life at times, I cursed at times, I even thought of being against God in every way.

I cried, complained, moped, moaned, coward in fear, and turned away from my faith.

But, now I am a young woman, sixteen and getting an education.

I am full of life, confident, strong, and progressing through life.

I love myself, I love my positive thoughts.

I love what I see in the mirror, I love the very thought of me.

And that's alright, because I am beautiful and I am pretty.

I still make mistakes but I am still learning.

No longer do I shed tears but I stand beside God in all his glory.

He changed me; he made me into a different person.

I prayed and prayed and prayed.

He worked and works wonders as I no longer cry as I used to.

I no longer complain like I use to, I can't sit around and moan about everything bad that has happened in my life,

I no longer turn away from God.

I seek him.

I love him so very much.

And all God ask of me and you are to love him and love thy neighbor.

Spread the love people.
