Prom, self-confidence, and JESUS!

It's prom season, people, and you know what that means.
 
Expensive dress. Expensive shoes. Expensive hair. Expensive makeup. Expensive nails.
Finding a date.
Critiquing said date ("How will he look in the pictures?").
Crash diets.
SPANX.
Worry, loneliness, fear, anxiety.
Pressure.
 
But that's not what prom is supposed to be. Prom is supposed to be a blast, a fun-filled night to celebrate the END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR, BABY! We're supposed to hang out with our friends, feeling all gorgeous and whatnot, and laugh, have fun, and let loose a little bit. However, as my priest warned me, prom can be "a debauchery."
 
Now before you go getting all hasty and defensive and stuff, hear me out. Yeah, if you're careful, prom is an awesome, healthy experience! Just don't get all caught up in the grinding, alcohol, and all that biz. Because, trust me, prom can be really fun without it! I know, sometimes it seems like you're completely alone in your quest for moral uprightness. Just don't show off, and quietly be who Jesus wants you to be. It's so rewarding.
 
So when your prom comes around, relax, try your best not to worry about all those scrutinizing pictures heading your way, and have fun.
 
If you're feeling like you need a crash course in body confidence before the big night, look at these helpful hints. As beautiful sons and daughters of Christ, we already shine like gems in His crown. So flash your biggest, buck-toothed smile, flaunt those love-handles, and strut your stuff despite that gigantic mound of a zit on your back. ;)
 
Be honest with yourself.
Don't give up!
Realize the truth.
 
Have moxie! ;)
