"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!"

Last night at church, we had a girl party for all of the youth. We started out the evening with worship and singing with Driven, the youth band, then we split up and went to our "Girls Secret Room" to start the party. We had to dress up with all of the garb Nikki and Casey provided and then we had to dance around. There were feather boas, masks, hats, spoons (for microphones, of course), skirts, shirts and wigs. It was hilarious!!! We all dressed up like the biggest goobers you've ever seen. I had on a clown hat with polka dots, a lime green sash, and pink pom-poms for my pigtails. We sang and danced around to Family Force 5, Barlow Girl, Jeremy Camp, MercyMe and acted just as silly as girls can act. We've never laughed so much either and sadly enough, we have pictures to prove this. I just know there will be some that show up on Myspace or Facebook. It is coming, I'm sure.
After acting silly and nerdy, we all had to fill in the blank with our own word. The statment was: "I Am Not _____ Enough". Most wrote: skinny, pretty, cool, smart, tall, loved, worthy, spiritual. Nikki taught a little lesson on how Satan gets into our head through tv, radio and friends and makes us feel completely unworthy of anything. In other words, he loves to make sure we know we aren't "Good Enough." God's word specifically says that we ARE worthy and "good enough". God made us in His image. He created us especially for man as a mate. He formed us from Adam's rib and formed Adam from the dust of the ground. He made us in his glory and honor. Isn't that awesome? We are perfect. We are beautiful. Just as the song says, "...we are precious in His sight...".
