I fall from Grace. In all honesty, I am pretty sure that saying was made up in reference to my mistakes. I am a woman with a heart for the Lord and I am a work in progress. I have fallen so many times, there should be a Life alert necklace for me to wear and push a button to call in the disciples to come and pray for me, pray for me hard core!

But, I am working on it. And as I grow, especially with regard to being a momma, I am falling less, thank you Lord! So ladies, help a sister out. Have you all ever seen a grown woman with a heart for the Lord go back woods, hood rat gangster on a person? Please don't make me.

I know, I know. I am in charge of my own feelings and no one can make me feel a way that I do not give them permission to, BUT don't mess with my girl. My sweet, precious baby girl. She is a dream come true. She is my only girl and she has 3 brothers. She is brilliant. She is kind. She is loving. She is strong. She is the "Kingdom's pride and joy" Luke 18:16. She is MY pride and joy. And I will go to the ends of the earth to protect her and keep her safe. I will preserve her innocence to the best of my ability and I pray I will build her up to the point that one day when someone does "mean girl" her, she smiles, prays for them and turns the other cheek. She is a little girl. A perfect little girl.

DO NOT call her fat. Do not say "well she hasn't missed a meal lately, has she?" Do not let your daughters hear you say those things. Because, they are listening. And they will repeat it.

And if I hear it, I am a habitual offender who has fallen from grace several times, and I am likely to go back woods, hood rat gangster and I really don't want to. I want to keep myself in check. And I pray the same for you.

Let's work together to check our own insecurities and self judgment and leave them at the cross, especially when our daughters are in the room. And my loves, I will do the same when you and your daughter are in the room. God chose US. God chose us to care for and protect and love these girls. Let's do it with grace. And with love. And raise them to be the pride and joy that they are.

xoxo,

Mollie
