SO ANGRY!!!!!!!

So we watched a movie the other day in my communication and society class. It was about how music videos objectify women. I found myself getting angry about how women were allowing men to treat them in such a way. The women in these videos were allowing (if not throwing) themselves onto men. They were letting men touch them and treat them like pieces of meat. It made me SO ANGRY!!!!!!!!! I'm angry because our society has put such a high emphasis on appearance and sexuality that womens minds have been been numbed into thinking that these are the only things that give women value.

And i'm even more angry that I've boughten into it. I mean I try to make myself look half-way decent. I'm constantly comparing myself to women I see on t.v. or even around campus. I wish I was skinnier. I wish I had better skin. I wish I had a smaller nose. I spend a lot of money on makeup. The list goes on and on. I hate that I'm one of those girls. I hate feeling like I don't have as much value because I don't have a boyfriend. I hate feeling like I'm behind because all of my friends from highschool are either married or engaged. I hate it because I know my value doesn't come from that. I know that if I search for admiration the of men I WILL NEVER FIND IT. Paul says in Galatians, "Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ." I am a child of the Living God and He is what gives me value. I must stop believing the lie that the devil has told to society. Now if I can only figure out how.......


hmmmm. time for some pondering...
