Her Beauty

When your child's heart hurts, so does yours.  Period.  Without going into great detail, my Maya-girl has had a rough week and we have done lots of talking, I have done lots of consoling, and she's been mopey and bummed.  I remember 9th grade...no fun.  My lovely step-daughter is so great, most of the time not seeing how amazing she is, I just wish she could have her 30+ year old self, give advice to (almost) 15 year-old Maya; ah, the wisdom she would have.  My s-kids have never seen my blog (and am wanting to keep it that way ;), so I'm praying for Maya's heart, and I hope you will too. I heard this song today, that reminded me of sweet Maya's beauty and just wanted to post...for anyone that might be having a rough time.  "You are treasured, you are sacred, you are His."

Beautiful, by Mercy Me


The days will come when you don't have the strength 
When all you hear is you're not worth anything 
Wondering if you ever could be loved 
And if they truly saw your heart they'd see too much 


You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You are made so much more than all of this 
You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His 
You're beautiful 


I'm praying that you have the heart to find 
Cause you are more than what is hurting you tonight 
For all the lies you've held inside so long 
And they are nothing in the shadow of the cross 


You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You are made so much more than all of this 
You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His 
You're beautiful 


Before you ever took a breath 
Long before the world began 
Of all the wonders He possessed 
There was one more precious 
Of all the earth and skys above 
You're the one He madly loves 
Enough to die 
You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
In His eyes 


You're beautiful 
You were meant for so much more than all of this 
You're beautiful 
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His 
You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You're meant for so much more than all of this 
You're beautiful 
You're beautiful 
You are treasured, You are sacred, You are His

My father and mother may abandon me, but the LORD will take care of me.
