Little Things

Okay, okay, I'll admit it.

Iloveboybands.

This is a weakness that hearkens way back to the 90's...growing up on N'Sync really did a number on me.  Justin Timberlake is still sexy an excellent musician...

But I digress.

I have been so happy lately that boy bands are coming back!

And more than that, that they are making excellent music.

Guys, I don't know if you realize this, but it is so hard to find music that validates you for who you are.  That makes you feel loved and important and beautiful for being you.  But in the past year or so, there have been a couple of songs that have come out that have done just that

And Little Things by One Direction does just that.

It is more than just saying "hey girl, I think you're fine, be my girlfriend"  No, this song taps in to the insecurities that all women feel and helps us understand that it is okay.  That our insecurities are often the things about us that make us lovable.

Do we see ourselves as lovable?  Do we find the lovable qualities within ourselves, or do we constantly tear ourselves down because we don't think that anyone can love us?

I want to issue you a challenge.  Instead of looking in the mirror today and seeing the new gross zit on your face or those couple of extra pounds that midterm stress eating brought on, I would encourage you to find your endearing qualities.  Find the special dimple when you smile, or the way that you care for and love the people around you.  See the daughter of god who serves the women around her as she goes visiting teaching.  See the individual who is striving to become more like Christ each day.

See what others see in you.  Accept the compliments that they give you.  Because they see the good in you.  So why don't you?

I'm only posting the lyric video, because I strongly feel that seeing the lyrics brings more power to the lyrics.  However, you can also head on over to YouTube yourself and see the regular music video.
