After a mid-morning walk I was in the kitchen getting Macie's lunch together (grilled cheese, green beans and peaches), and turned on the radio (94.9 KLTY). We oftentimes turn on our little kitchen iPod dock when we're 'working' in the kitchen and then sometimes in hopes Miss Macie will get distracted by the music and forget that she's SO hungry. More often than not this proves to be a succesful distraction and it also almost always 'calms' Mommy down and completely lightens my 'high-strung' temperament (so refreshing...such a blessing)!
So, when I turned the radio on and heard a song I hear probably nearly every day on 94.9 I thought nothing of it, started singing and 'dancing' with Macie while fixing her lunch. Mid-chorus while singing 'to' Macie, it suddenly dawned on me just exactly what I was singing and the words I was speaking...to my daughter. Oh, how I pray Macie will always know this Truth.
There could never be a more beautiful you
Don't buy the lies disguises and hoops they make you jump through
You were made to fill a purpose
that only you could do
So there could never be a more beautiful you
-Chorus from "More Beautiful You" by Johnny Diaz
How thankful I am for a God who speaks to us in the midst of being silly with a 13 month old in the kitchen on a Saturday morning.

Macie starring Kate down (she did a lot of that)
The girls
" Look, Uncle Dustin...I can push my popper now!"
Bathtime!
