(James Slater)
In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes
And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about
It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes
In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes...

How beautiful that you were able to embrace your daughter, rather then ridicule her.
Would that my mother, had been so enlightened!
God love you sweetie!

Many, many moons ago, when I was still struggling with my own issues I'd fallen away from God too. Several close friends argued that I needed to open myself up to the Lord again, that my life wasn't all that healthy, and how was I supposed to feel God's touch in my life if I was so closed off.
I was MUCH younger then, and, well, obnoxiuos at that point. "When God comes down, introduces himself, and proves it to my level of satisfaction, I'll consider it. Until then, I won't call him if he doesn't call me." I was very much into the scientific method, and was expecting some pretty big proofs to the postulate that God actually touched individual lives directly.
Well, he's always seen something in me I didn't I guess, because I got the entire show, and a gentle thwock in the back of my head (Ala Gibb's from NCIS) kind of thing. Since then I tend to see and hear God's voice in all the little things in my life as well as the big.
The Swaggert's and Fallwell's of this world claim that only THEY can speak directly to God, but since my awakening I know that God is right there with each and everyone of us if we are just open to his touch in our lives.
Your powerful testimony here is the kind of stuff more people need to see and hear, because God really is about beauty and love, about our blessing, real and whole, he shares with us when we least expect them, and quite often need them.
As to Martina, well I'm a big country fan, and I love her music. Understandably this is easily one of my favorite pieces she does, for obvious reasons. I'm so glad it was right there, when you most could appreciate it.
I love your posts Christina!
Hugs,
