plain.

Today I was struggling with singleness. "What's wrong with me?" "Will I ever be enough?" "Is this going to last forever?" all these thoughts went through my head. I prayed for truth to be revealed and as always God came through. 

When I was ten I absolutely loved listening to ZoeGirl. Today I drove my sister's car and she had an old ZoeGirl cd in the cd holder. I popped it in and heard the familiar songs that I used to sing and dance to. Then the song Plain came on. Just as it ministered to my heart almost ten years ago, it was exactly what I needed today. 

Thank you Jesus for music. Thank you for revealing truth to me. Thank you for reminding me that I am fearfully and wonderfully made in YOUR image. 

Plain - ZoeGirl
He made you feel plain
When he forgot your name
Let me tell you something
I have felt the same

I know you're in pain
But be another boy along the way
And God he made you beautiful and
There's nothin' about you that's plain

You are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky

You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothing about you that's plain
No no no

You tell me, you're not the type
The kind of girl that they like
And your a little insecure about
How you look in their eyes

Well fashion will change
And trends come and go everyday
But God only made one of you and
There's nothin' about you that's plain

'Cause you are a jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind and
You shine just as bright as
The stars in the sky

You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right
So keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothin' about you that's plain

See your mind, it is precious
Though your heart may be restless
And your eyes they will see
All that you're meant to be

'Cause your spirit is strong
And your soul carries on
You'll keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothin' about you that's plain

You know I've had my days
When I feel out of place, yeah
I look at who I am, cover what I can
I wish it all would change but

Take the makeup away
You see the same girl still remains
She may not feel that beautiful
But there's nothin' about her that's plain

And you are jewel you're a treasure
You are one of a kind
And you shine just as bright
As the stars in the sky

You're a rare kind of wonder
Created just right so keep
Your head up no matter the pain
Keep your head up no matter the pain, ooh yeah
Keep your head up no matter the pain
There's nothin' about you that's plain

You may have felt plain but
God, he knows your name
Let me tell you something
There's nothin' about you that's plain

  1. I struggled with singleness at times as well... but looking back, that was the BEST time of my life as far as my own growth went. I had a serious boyfriend for 4 years then was single for almost 4 years. It was WEIRD going from one to the other, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I know I wouldn't have been able to do, learn, see, experience half the things I did if I wasn't single. I will always cherish that time. I know it's tough sometimes, but embrace it. Embrace Jesus in it. It's so beautiful when it's just you and him.
