Freckles

I heard this song a few weeks ago, and it made me cry. I have always hated my freckles, but loved them on other people. A friend burned the song "Freckles" for me to listen to after complaining about my freckles. I LOVED IT!!!!! It is a song that I hope my daughters will take to heart. To often we hate the things that we can do nothing about. I'm trying to grow up, and not care about ANY of my imperfections. As I taught the Young Women last Sunday, Heavenly Father doesn't make junk!
I posted the words to this song because I can't ever understand the words on a song until I hear it several times. Scroll down to my music player (at the bottom). Make the song start over, and enjoy your freckles!!!!!

I used to care so much about what others think about

Almost didn't have a thought of my own

The slightest remark would make me embark

On the journey of self doubt

But that was a while ago

This girl has got stronger

If I knew then what I know now

I would have told myself don't worry any longer it's OK

[Chorus:]

'cause a face without freckles is like a sky without stars

Why waste a second not loving who you are

Those little imperfections make you beautiful, lovable, valuable,

They show your personality inside your heart

Reflecting who you are

Who you are

Who you are

Who you are

I wondered if I could trade my body with somebody else in magazines

Would the whole world fall at my feet?

I felt unworthy and would blame my failures on the ugliness I could see

When the mirror looked at me

Sometimes I feel like the little girl who doesn't belong in her own world

But I'm getting better

And I'm reminding myself

[Chorus]

Reflecting who you are

Reflecting who you are
