Flawless.....

For Christmas Madelynn received a new CD, MercyMe-Welcome to the New. I was listening to it in my car and came across this......

Thinking there is worth in what you do,
Then like a HERO who takes the stage when
We're on the edge of our seats saying it is too late
Well let me introduce you to Amazing Grace
No matter the bumps
No matter the bruises
No matter the SCARS
Still the truth is
The cross has made
The cross has made you FLAWLESS

All I could think of was My Heart Hero's scars make her Flawless. God chose me to be her parent. I was His perfect choice for her so he gave me a perfect child in His eyes.

To look at her she is too small and too skinny. She fights me at every meal and hates to eat. She will be 7 at her next Birthday but still has to ride in a 5 point harness on the school bus; she doesn't weigh enough. With all the battles we have fought and the scars she has to show for it SHE IS BEAUTIFUL and FLAWLESS.

Parents remember the long nights in the hospital, the bad news after more bad news as your child fights to live. Your memories are more powerful than anything your child remembers. But the fact of the matter is your warrior is perfect and beautiful. Whether it be the smile that melts the bad day away, the hug that releases the stress, the "I Love you" that reminds you every inch is worth fighting for, or the pure love parents have for their warrior it is ALL Flawless.

My hope for 2015 is to help remind parents even with all the physical brokenness our children are born with they are all still flawless and beautiful.

Because of you, I wanted to have more children
Because of you, I laugh more
