Clubbin'

Almost every week since I have been here Ida (my housemate) has invited me to go out with her on Monday nights to this club called The Piper. Every week I am always busy and I have some excuse not to go, and I always feel bad because she wants me to go with her. Well last night she invited me and Kelsey, and we happened to have nothing to do so we went with her.

I was a little nervous about going because I didn't really know what to expect but it is really just a bunch of people hanging out, talking and dancing, well and of course drinking. It was fun to just hang out and chat with people and enjoy the music but what really caught my attention was all of the girls.

Almost every girl there last night was dressed in extremely short skirts/dresses and low cut tops...I definitely felt out of place, in a good way. As I was watching the girls around me trying to get the attention of all of the men in the room my heart started to break for them.

It made me sad and sick to think that these girls are dressed this way just so a guy will show them a little bit of attention. What I noticed about the guys is that they would give the girl some attention for a song or two but then they would get bored and go back to their friends or even a more modestly dressed girl.

I just wanted to tell all of these girls that they don't have to put their bodies on display to be loved and have attention. I use to think that girls who dressed like had a lot of self-confidence and had very little if any insecurities but last night I realized the exact opposite. These girls are really insecure, they need to be told that they are worth it and loved and cared about.

I know this isn't what you would expect to read from a blog called Clubbin' but this has been weighing on my heart.

God I lift up all of these girls to you, these girls who think that the way they dress determines their love and self worth. Lord show them that these women are beautiful, that you have made them, beautiful in your image. Jesus I pray that you lift these girls up and that they can see and feel your love, the only love that matters surrounding them
