No more...

Yesterday's post lead into today's lightning revelation.

Yesterday, I stood in the self-check out at the grocery store. A young woman walked by in a classy business suit, skirt and jacket, and black heels. I glanced up and saw myself in the video feed, and all I could think was "Dumpy." I looked dumpy. I was wearing a cute denim jumper and sweater. Worse to me was that I'd thought of wearing something nicer and talked myself out of it. Why do I do this to myself? And yet, I have to celebrate as well. I had a coupon for the bakery. I thought about buying myself a donut or two or a bagel. I looked at them, breathed deep, and bought bread for my lunch. I am still proud of myself for making a healthier choice that will also last longer. On the way home, in the car, this came on K-Love, and I knew it was for me. I've posted the song before, but God gave this gift to me, when I needed it most. May God bless MikesChair and all those who share their faith to inspire and lift others. They inspired and lifted me.

MikesChair Someone Worth Dying For http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oF5CjtrIl_c&NR=1&feature=endscreen

Lyrics:

You might be the wife,
Waiting up at night
You might be the man,
Struggling to provide
Feeling like it's hopeless

Maybe you're the son,
Who chose a broken road
Maybe you're the girl,
Thinking you'll end up alone
Praying God can you hear me?
Oh God are you listening?

(Chorus)
Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I wanna believe, I wanna believe that
I'm not just some wandering soul
That you don't see and you don't know
Yeah I wanna believe, Jesus help me believe that I
Am someone worth dying for

I know you've heard the truth that God has set you free
But you think you're the one that grace could never reach
So you just keep asking, what everybody's asking

Chorus

You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah the Cross has proven
That you're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose

And you are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see you're something beautiful
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see
That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you
Are someone worth dying for

You're someone worth dying for
You're someone worth dying for

Don't let those who think they're smarter than you fool you or scare you. Those "archaic" laws that banned abortion did NO...
