One Heartbeat At A Time

There's a reason why Steven Curtis Chapman is my "crush". :)  It's songs like these that add to how amazing he is.  He has a gift musically but also lyrically.  I'm sure his wife would let us know that he isn't perfect as a hub or Dad BUT he seems to know that too and then he uses his flaws to write music and encourage others! 
This is a great song for any day of the year but since America's Mother's Day is tomorrow I thought I would jump on that bandwagon and put it in as today's song.  :)  Can I get a witness - being a Mom isn't for the faint of heart.  And Steven wisely highlights that in this song with lines like:
You run all day at the speed of life
You fall into bed when you run out of hours
You wonder if anything worth doing got done
Making history with every touch and every smile
You may not see it now, but I believe time will tell how you are changing the world one little heartbeat at a time

Being a Mom is almost indescribable.  It is joy, sadness, challenge, bliss, growth, a lot of trial and error, and so much more.  It is the hardest job I'll ever have and yet the most rewarding job I will ever have.  I've said it before, I'm not a traditional mom - many of my friends can testify to this! - but I seem to be the EXACT mom my daughters need.  My prayer has always been something like this, "God please don't let me screw them up - cover my mistakes!" :)  One heartbeat at a time...
