Obviously, I was going to write one about Taylor at some point.


Should I really be writing a post about Taylor Swift? I’ve been debating this for a while now. It seems a little weird to do something like this. But I really feel like we need to take some time in our lives to realize what those around us are getting right in their lives, instead of worrying about others fails. When I think of Taylor Swift, I think of a compassionate role model. Here’s a girl who is currently 22, and do you see any scandalous tabloids? The answer will always be no. And why aren’t there any? It’s as simple as she is trying to glorify the Lord every day. If you don’t believe me fine, but maybe do some research before you come to that conclusion. It was a long time ago before anyone knew about her when I was on her personal myspace music page and she wrote about her life. It was amazing to see the things that were important to her. Even though that page is long gone, and she’s a household name all over the world, I know she is the same girl. How do I know? I take notes on the things she does. She was recently pranked on the punk’d show on MTV, instead to getting angry like other celebrities she was worried, almost crying, and most of all she kept her words and actions in check. Not a single horrible thing came out of her mouth, and I find that quite astonishing. She was given the perfect chance to mess up what others think of her, she didn’t know the cameras were around. And still nothing about her persona changed. This is a real girl we are talking about. Who writes songs about her life, her mother, nothing about chains and whips in those lyrics. Then there’s her acceptance of awards, she is always honestly surprised. And I get tired of others who think it’s insincere. Who are we to judge, last time I checked we don’t know her. She doesn’t go into a single situation, assuming that she is entitled to what she gets. And I think that is one of the biggest issues we have as a society today, we go into everyday situations thinking we have the right or we deserve this or that. When really we never do, I mean never ever do we deserve anything we receive. And finally the Kanye incident, did she do anything horrible in that moment? No, all she did was clasp her hand to her mouth and stand there. She even took the time to write a forgiveness song to Kanye. Have you ever heard it? It sounds like something Jesus would sing to us every day when we make mistakes. I guess what I’m getting at, is just because they are celebrities, presidents, people in congress, others from around the world, we do not have the right to judge them. We don’t know them, and even if we did, we still don’t have the right to put down the Lord’s creations. That’s like the biggest insult in the world, to a creator whom we love. Here’s a link to that song, its forgiveness factor is one the Lord pours out to us day in and day out and we should do the same to others around us
