Mirror

I was just listening to a song written & performed by Barlow Girl, a Christian trio of very talented sisters. I am sharing this with my 14 year old. It is a great song for teens, especially girls between 13-17. It is even good for us moms in our 40's!

Mirror
Mirror, Mirror on the wall, have I got it?
'Cause Mirror you've always told me who I am
I'm finding it's not easy to be perfect
so sorry you won't define me
sorry you don't own me

Who are you to tell me
that I'm less than what I should be?
who are you? who are you?
I don't need to listen
to the list of things I should do
I won't try, I won't try

Mirror I am seeing a new reflection
I'm looking into the eyes of He who made me
and to Him I have beauty beyond compare
I know He defines me

you don't define me, you don't define me

Hi Faith,

I love those words...I pray that I can teach my daughter her worth apart from the mirror...

As for your question, I do work part time, but it's about 25 hours a week so it is significant. I work in a church and do most of the time at home or on evenings (rehearsals) and weekends (services). As of now, our main school time is in the morning as our oldest is only in 2nd grade. I'm not exactly sure how it will look as his schooling requires more time. We are taking it year by year at this point, but we all love homeschooling. Email me if you want a more extensive answer! :)

Hi Christine: oh thank you! That is nice that your job is with the church. I teach special needs children although for the past school year I have been a full time stay at home mom and i LOVED it. But, I know the Lord is callimg me back to teaching part time at least as it is a "ministry" for me. Before this past year I was in a private school for the very wealthy and it was ok but my heart is with special needs inner city kids.I also am very involved at my church with various ministries so....He is showing me how to balance everything and how to let some stuff go!
Thanks for visiting. (and I also, am teaching my daughters about theiir real self worth and where their identity should be (in Jesus!). Blessings to you,
Faith
