tori and taylor

Two pictures of wounds hit me hard this week. As you can see by the post title I am writing about Tory Spelling and Taylor Swift.

It all started when I was at the doctor's office reading (frankly whatever was in the room at the time) of all things Bazar magazine. In the magazine there was a short interview, or maybe it was just a quote, by Tori Spelling. The quote was a recollection of Tori to her younger years. She said "when I was younger I went into my parents bedroom and I asked my mother if I was pretty, my mother replied you will be when you get your nose done" Wow! Talk about a major wound and you can see the effects of it still today.

It is every girls question to their mommy... Am I pretty?

I have a hard time with this next one because everyone has given it way more attention that it ever deserved. I watched an excited Taylor Swift accept her award at the MTV video awards, only to have her moment stolen and left feeling, I am sure, less than stellar. I saw this young girl watch what was going on in disbelief, and.... I saw her hurt.

I felt her hurt..... I think we all did.

I say I think we all did because of the strong reactions it evoked. I saw words like idiot mostly, I saw punk, thug and I won't write what the President of the United States allegedly said.

One person admittedly thought "idiot" first, then remembered even this guy had a story, and had deep wounds and that this guy needed Jesus. Amen... but here is the fact... We all need Jesus.

We are all broken, wounded, hurting and in need of a Savior. I am no better than the guy who stole her moment.

I have done worse!

I don't think I have the right to call him any names. I do have the right to pray for both of them, and pray that they do find redemption and healing through Jesus. Some say it was all for pubilicity, and from what I hear it worked.

I hope everyone who watched learned something.

My prayer for these young ladies (Tori and Taylor) is that God would reveal Himself, and show them how beautiful, how valuable, and how captivating they truly are.

Not for their looks....... songs....... or money or anything other thing on earth, but for who God created them to be.
