Ok so I got a new CD that I am loving...those of you who know me well know that I like "girly" music so the fact that this is the new Point of Grace Cd should be no surprise. As I have been listening (and loving it) there is one song that makes me cry, in a good way, every time. It sums up this journey I have been on the last few years and the journey that I am on now. My idea of a perfect life flew out the window a long time ago, but God does have a PERFECT plan for me, if I just let him lead. Do I want to pretend to be perfect? Put on the make up to cover the "scars"? Sometimes my flesh and pride says yes, but I would not be the wife and the mother that I am today without those nasty scars. As I approach another birthday I am thanking God that he has healed most of the wounds in my life and I praise him for the fact that he will continue to do so, if I let him!
Enjoy the song...
I used to wish that I could rewrite history
I used to dream that each mistake could be erased
Then I could just pretend
I never knew me back then
I used to pray that You would take this shame away
Hide all the evidence of who I've been
But it's the memory of
The place You brought me from
That keeps me on my knees
And even though I'm free
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
I have not lived a life that boasts of anything
I don't take pride in what I bring
But I'll build an altar with
The rubble that You've found me in
And every stone will sing
Of what You can redeem
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar
Don't let me forget
Everything You've done for me
Don't let me forget
The beauty in the suffering
Heal the wound but leave the scar
A reminder of how merciful You are
I am broken, torn apart
Take the pieces of this heart
And heal the wound but leave the scar

Wow. That's powerful. I'm a little overwhelmed.
Christi, I have just visited your blog for the first time and read several of your posts. I am so amazed and encouraged as I see all that God has been doing in your life! Thank you for sharing your powerful testimony. I praise God for all He has done and continues to do in your life ... and I am thankful for you, Friend! Love you!!
Those lyrics were written JUST for you, girl. God is good!
Absolutely beautiful song! Thanks for sharing.
That is awesome! Sometimes we never realize how much of our past is molding us into the people God has designed us to be until we step back and see all the hurdles/blessings/trials God has given us to get to the point where we are. Your posts have been a blessing!

Christi Kingsley - what a beautiful thought. I'm so thankful that God allowed us to meet and become friends. I am excited to hear about how God is working. I'm especially thankful for His grace at this point in my spiritual journey and I, too, know just how sufficient His grace truly is! Love you girl! :)
