“The Gift It Looks Good On You!”
2014 Inspiration:
“The Gift It Looks Good On You!”
Song by Donald Lawrence
Written By: Heather Jones
With 2014 already here and in full swing many people have started New Year’s resolutions of weight loss, increased finances, better jobs, and many more. As I enjoyed a night at home with friends and family for New Year’s Eve I got the opportunity to smile in knowing that I may not be where I want to be but I’m still blessed. Blessed to see my son’s smile everyday (even through the whines and tantrums), blessed to wake up and go to a job to support my family (hard work and faith will get you through), and blessed to be a blessing (even if my finances are not where I want them to be I can still bless others through time and support).
One day, on a bonding ride with my mother, a song came on the radio that said in the chorus:
“The gift it looks good on you
It looks good on you
The gift it looks good
And you wear it well
God has graced you and you wear it well.”
My mother’s speakers went from elevator music to full fledge concert. We were in the car jamming and having fun. But it wasn’t just the music that made our spirits and bodies happy, it was the message. Knowing that no matter where you are or what you are doing as long as you are following God’s word and will, you will make it through. He has given you a gift tailor made just for you: One that only you can fit into, only your faith can afford, and only your journey can unlock.
What I am saying is be excited to be improved this year and strive for better, but don’t base your resolution off of what you have seen through someone else’s gift. Your gift and journey will be different. But remember “The Gift (Your Gift) Looks Good On You!” Go after what God has called you to do and your year will be bigger and better than any resolution you could have imagined.

Jones is a freelance writer and marketing specialist who explores the cultural impact of music, arts, fashion, and religion. She says, "Adele was one of the first artist I ever did an album review for. The passion and fire that I felt while listening to the album and writing gave me confirmation that this is what I should be doing. " She is a very artistic and open minded person who tries to better herself and others through the transparency of her writing. As a student at UNC Charlotte she received a degree in marketing and gained the skills needed to understand the value of quality in research. There is much ahead for Jones and only God, time, and life's journey can dictate the path.
