Quite a Week


It's been quite a week here in our house.  We tried to go on vacation and it just didn't work out.  My daughter got sick, my other daughter's cough got worse, our windshield got a star crack, the driver's window stopped working, we had to switch rooms at the hotel two times, our tail light cover fell off one mile from our home...   Life is often not what we want. I don't have time to write more of the story here right now, but a friend posted the second song on facebook and I enjoyed it.  The mess is what I am struggling against feeling right now.  The weight weighs down on my shoulders.  
The first song is one that I come back to and have been encouraged by...

BEAUTIFUL FOR ME Lyrics
Nichole Nordeman
Every girl young and old has to face her own reflection
Twirl around, stare it down
What’s the mirror gonna say
With some luck, you’ll measure up
But you might not hold a candle to the rest
“Is that your best?” says the mirror to the mess
But there’s a whisper in the noise
Can you hear a little voice
and he says

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Oh
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful for me
If it’s true beauty lies in the eye of the beholder
What my life and what’s inside to give him something to behold
I want a heart that’s captivating
I wanna hear my Father say

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Oh
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful for me
Close your eyes
Look inside
Let me see the you that you’ve been trying to hide
Long ago, I made you so very beautiful
So I ought to know you’re beautiful

Has anybody told you you’re beautiful?
You might agree if you could see what I see
Yeah
‘Cuz everything about you is incredible
You should have seen me smile the day that I made you beautiful
You’re so beautiful
Beautiful for me
So beautiful for me
Has anybody told you?
