The real you and me.
"The Real Me" By Natalie Grant
Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?
[Chorus:]
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before I'm empty
Do I let it show, does anybody know?
[Chorus:]
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
Painted on, life is behind a mask
{Verse 2}
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
{Verse 2}
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess I've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still I see somehow
{Chorus}
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
{Bridge}
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me
{Chorus}
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me
And you love me just as I am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me

Point The Finger
We all point the finger sometimes. As humans we tend to look
at the bad in people and never turn to see our own faults. When we throw so
many accusations at others, we start to look and feel like Jesus himself? Am I
right? But, the truth is, when you really dig to find your own list of accusations,
you are no better than your latest and most popular suspect.

They said this to test him, so that they might
have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger
on the ground. Perhaps, he was writing a list of each of the Pharisees own sins.
When they kept on questioning him, he straightened up and said to them,
"Let anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at
her."
And once again he
bent down and wrote on the ground. When they read it, they went away, one by
one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman
standing before him. Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where
are they? Has no one condemned you?" She said, "No one, sir."
And Jesus said, "Neither do I condemn you.

Before the split, it was the children who fought amongst each
other and accused one another of things as crazy as making another have a miscarriage,
stilling a baby name, or simply being a favorite. It was those same children
who fought over things such as someone not bringing enough food to a Sunday brunch. It was
the child who accused his mom of holding a grandchild more than his own child.
If you’re anything
like me, you’re probably saying to yourself, “How petty!!” The children had
destroyed themselves long before they found someone to blame it on. People are
so busy looking at the splinter in someone else’s eye, that they forget to take
the log out of their own eye. What ever happen to honoring your mother and your
father that your days might be long on this earth? Well, that went out the door
with the holy than holier accusation.
To sum it all up, to
single out someone, scrutinize them for being human is wrong. There will come a
day when someone will point out your faults. Unless, you’re Jesus Christ, I got
news for you… YOU HAVE FAULTS!

And God says,” Let
anyone among you who is without sin be the first to throw a stone at
her." I’m guessing, that no one
here on this earth, will be throwing any stones today.

Feeling Unworthy?
Are you really happy
with your life? Do you wake up eager to start your day? Are you enjoying the
people who surround your life? These are all questions that we all think about
from time to time.
![](http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hrKICQrehj8/UWXu0kuCGrI/AAAAAAAAAD8/A06aqcC5LyY/s1600/imagesCA5EUTC2.jpg)
I felt like, the
ones I had depended on and looked up to had let me down. That feeling of
unworthiness was so heavy that I became severely depressed. Why would God allow
this to happen to me? Not only did my
family fall apart right before my eyes, but I also didn’t have any close
friends.
Now, let’s go back a
little further. I wasn’t your typical kid. I mean, yes, I did grow up as a
pastors kid and yes, I was homeschooled. But, what people didn’t know, is that I
had no grand-parents on both my dad nor moms sides. My aunties and uncles had
no relationship with me on both sides, I didn’t even know most of their names
until I was about fourteen.
So, when my siblings
had started to fight, not just between themselves, but with my parents too, I
felt like the most unlucky person in the world. For a long time, I felt that God
had abandoned me and my life. To sum it all up, I didn’t feel worthy of love
and acceptance. I struggled with the idea that I could ever get married to
someone who would a love, accept, and never leave me.

I got into his word
and found out what he had done for me. I listened to my very breathe I was
breathing and took a look around me. Worthiness is not measured by people and rather hurtful situation they
could bring, but a love that never fails and never stops, god’s love.
God has blessed me with
so much and although I couldn’t see it then, that frustrating time, was a blessing
too. It has made me a better, stronger, and more understanding faithful person.
Now, I sing at Stone Bridge Church, here in the Woodlands and I’m a Writer.
Because of my trials, I have so much to sing about and so much to write about. Thank
God for using our trials to shape each and every one of us into people who can
serve him better.

Something Meaningful
![](http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wNmgYU9gQ5s/UWN2d_doHZI/AAAAAAAAADU/wUaX3s_uopA/s1600/imagesCA60OZHQ.jpg)
I felt like the odd one out. I mean, let’s
just face it, everyone had someone to love them wrapped around their arms.
Sometimes I got to feeling like a loser! Not having that significant other made
my self-esteem and self-worth fall drastically.

I found the solution
to all my problems on accident. When I took a second a look at the young women
I was admiring, the all had something else in common that I didn’t recognize
before. They all had something called character and substance.
Now just like me, you
may ask, what do you mean by substance and character? I believe that a woman of
substance is a woman who has strong character, who is consistent, she has more
than meets the eye. She has many interests. She is interesting and has a great
personality. But, above all this, her foundation is built apon Jesus Christ
himself.

Since I decided to
make a conscience decision for God, I have so much to say. Not about the latest
fashion or gossip, but about life and the meaning of it. I searched hi and low
for something that has always been with me … the love of Jesus. Now, when I do
meet that significant other, I’ll have something meaningful to say.
