One Heartbeat at a Time by Steven Curtis Chapman

[link]

You're up all night with a screaming baby
You run all day at the speed of life
And every day you feel a little bit less
Like the beautiful woman you are

So you fall into bed when you run out of hours
And you wonder if anything worth doing got done
Oh, maybe you just don't know
Or maybe you've forgotten

You, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time
Making history with every touch and every smile
Oh, you, you may not see it now
But I believe that time will tell
How you, you are changing the world
One little heartbeat at a time

With every "I know you can do it"
Every tear that you kiss away
So many little things that seem to go unnoticed
They're just like the drops of rain over time
They become a river

(chorus twice)

Oh, I believe that you
You are changing the world
One little heartbeat
At a time

This piccy is for Angi Not every gift needs to be for a person when they're feeling down. A gift is good to give when they're happy too. And your latest journal made me want to do this for you because you got your confidence back. <333

I guess it's also dedicated to my own mother. Only God knows how much crap she's gone through with her coworkers and her own family members. And only I know how big of a pain I was for the past 21 years. But she's put up with us this far, she's handled two kindergarten classes in one year, she helped me move out and she pours her heart into every little bit of work she does. Kids love her, adults look down on her because she likes to speak to kids as though they're normal people (not babies who don't understand). And she gets crap from her own kids too. But her heart is still big enough to let everyone in.

Three boys, one girl, and one little boy with ASD. <3 That's what she got as a challenge. Angi's got three out of four kids that have special needs, and people have given her crap about stuff.

You know what's stupid? People just don't understand that the most important job and career in this whole dang world is MOTHERHOOD. They raise kids, deal with teenagers, and sometimes get rejected by society or even their own families. And sometimes, certain moms don't seem to do a very good job at motherhood, which can cost their children's well-being.

So thar we go. I haz Linda with 12-yr-old Phineas and 17-yr-old Candace. I would have added Ferb, but I ran out of room on the canvas he'll get his chance, though. I like to think that he and Linda had a special bond because they're stepson and stepmom.

Geez, you want a good TV show for kids that speaks about everyday things? Phineas and Ferb, people. The main family of the show is BLENDED, the bad guy's family is DIVORCED, and although I like to think that at least Baljeet and Izzie have happy married parents, you don't ever hear about their fathers. That right there, is dealing with real life. Though I'm happy to say that my family is still together and my parents love each other through thick and thin, I'm really impressed that a show like this would subliminally prove to kids that divorced and blended families are still capable of being happy.

And who keeps her head through all the hysterical moments her daughter puts her through? That's right. Linda. The mother. And she still has fun with hobbies on the side.

A gift for Angi, a gift for my mom Angi (derp, she'd KILL me if I called her that IRL, but I won't give her real name away... it's a longer version of Angi tho). And a gift for all moms out there who don't get the full respect or thanks they deserve.

God bless you all
