Hello My Name Is...

This is a random post, but sometimes there are things that just hit you in a certain way.  One thing that Jason and I spend a lot of time telling our girls is how much we love them, but even more how much Jesus loves them.  Last year was really the first year that I noticed Reese getting her feelings hurt by friends at school or feeling embarrassed about certain things.  So, at that point I began to sit her down anytime something happened and would say, 

Me: "who are you?"

Reese: "Reese Kathryn Beckner"

Me: "who loves you?"

Reese: Mommy and Daddy and Jesus

Me: "who made you?"

Reese: God

Me: "whose are you?"

Reese: God's

I just want her to remember that when life happens sometimes you need to remember who you are, whose you are, and who loves you...those are the things that matter.  

All of that said...I heard this song tonight and it spoke volumes...to me!  I need to remind myself of this...I spend too much time rehashing what I could have done better or should have done instead.  I am so grateful for these words!  Song by Matthew West!

Hello, my name is regret
I’m pretty sure we have met
Every single day of your life
I’m the whisper inside
That won’t let you forget

Hello, my name is defeat
I know you recognize me
Just when you think you can win
I’ll drag you right back down again
‘Til you’ve lost all belief

Oh, these are the voices. Oh, these are the lies
And I have believed them for the very last time

Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I’ve been saved, I’ve been changed, I have been set free
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am no longer defined
By all the wreckage behind
The one who makes all things new
Has proven it’s true
Just take a look at my life

Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

What love the Father has lavished upon us that we should be called His children
I am a child of the one true King

What love the Father has lavished upon us that we should be called His children

Hello, my name is child of the one true King
I've been saved, I've been changed, I have been set free
"Amazing Grace" is the song I sing
Hello, my name is child of the one true King

I am a child of the one true King

My beautiful girls who are daughter of the King...may they never forget!!!
