this one's for the girls

this is for all you girls about 13
high school can be so rough,
can be so mean
hold on to on to your innocence
stand your ground
when everybody's givin' in
this one's for the girls

First of all, I just want to say that I love you.
All to often, I hear my younger girlfriends talk about how they're too fat or not attractive enough. Young ladies, I know life is hard (believe me, I totally do). There will be days that you just feel "bwuh" about life. There will be days that those harsh words of "you fatty" will come like a crushing blow to your heart. There will be other days that you might be the one over on one side of the room while your friends are all of a sudden hanging with the "cooler crowd" on the other side of the room. There might be even days where one of the cutest guys at school comes and asks you out on a date....or worse.....
Girls, I plead with you to be one who is "set apart" from the others. When "everybody's givin' in" it's hard to not follow along with the others. It's easier to do what the world tells you to do. But, is that what God would have you to do?....
This is such an incredible time in your life. There are so many things that you can do to serve the Lord...visit the elderly in the nursing home, help at the local food bank. You young ladies are at a prime time in your lives. I challenge you to go beyond the call of duty....cook a yummy dish for an elderly couple in your church, teach a Sunday school class, or gather a bunch of your friends together and share each others' prayer requests while drawing closer together as friends.
Don't let anyone tell you that you're not pretty, overweight, or not important.
You are loved.
You are so amazing.
Stand your ground and continue to be that pure, special and wonderful young lady that you are.

this is for all you girls about 25
in little apartments, just tryin' to get by
livin' on your dreams and spaghettios
wonderin' where your life is gonna go

Although I can't say that I have been 25...yet (hehe! ;D), I think that your age group is simply amazing. You have incredible influence in today's world and society. I mean, who are the majority that's graduating college? The young people in between the ages of 22-25, of course! :) Y'all have the potential to change the world. After graduation, you have the whole world to conquer. You have the ability to influence the younger girls and boys to choose the right path or the wrong path. You are blessed. And if you are still single and have the want and desire to be a wife and mommy, don't lose heart, lovely. There is one out there for you...just be patient and wait for God's perfect timing and His best.
You are important and you are treasured.

this one's for the girls
who've ever had a broken heart
who've wished upon a shooting star
you're beautiful the way you are
this one's for the girls

this one's for all you girls about 42
tossin' pennies into the fountain of youth
every laugh, laugh line on your face
made you who you are today 

Middle-aged women, thank you . I have had so many women that are older than me have such a huge and tremendous impact on my life. Young ladies, these are your role models. Older women in the church and Christian women in your lives are the one's who will have the greatest influence over you. I wouldn't be where I am today if it hadn't been for the older Christian ladies (including my mom's) guidance and teaching. I am able to teach the 2's and 3's on Sunday morning because I was able to assist at a young age and watch a Christian lady model, interact and lovingly teach that class. I was privileged to be her helper and learn from her. I wouldn't have the training of being able to cook, keep a house, and train to be a homemaker (confidently preparing to be a wife and mommy) if it hadn't been for my mom's guidance and instruction. Thank you, older Christian women for being the role models and encouragers that we as younger women need today.
You are needed and you are special.
