Cinderellas

There is a new song out by the music artist, Steven Curtis Chapman, called "Cinderella." Every time I hear it, I begin to either tear up or beam with joy because of my two amazing little "Cinderellas."

I don't know why Shami and I had to have our first 3 babies go to heaven and never get to hold them, let alone dance with them at any point. I do know that I am glad that God did give me the two beautiful ones I have now!

This song reminds me of how a little innocent child can break down the barriers of a man that is traveling in the harsh reality of life and its struggles. It reminds me of how my influence is so great in their lives. It reminds me that no matter how many lives I get to help be a change agent in, the lives of the ones that God places in front of me every day are far more important for me to touch with Jesus' love!

As I was writing this I realized one other thing.

When Shami and I were dealing with the first miscarriage of the twins (my little M&Ms as I called them), we were driving to the hospital in Las Vegas and a song came on. It was "Be Still and Know" by Steven Curtis Chapman. On that day, God used this man's words to comfort us as we cried many tears of loss and grief. Now, I shed more tears as I listen to the words of a different song from this same artist,

BUT THIS TIME,

my tears are not of grief but of unbelievable thankfulness that I have been graced with my two Cinderellas!
