Dont place a label on me

I just want to say,
Just because I'm "a woman"
just because I am an "artist"
Just because I am a "stay at home mom"
Just because I am a "home school mom"
Don't
place
a
label
on
me.

My beautiful new daughter
has
Down Syndrome.
She was born with cataracts and is legally blind.
When we met her she had no language.
But don't put her in a box.
Don't put a label on her.
She now has over 170 signs.
She can sign Jesus loves me,
She can ask for what she wants or let you know
under no uncertain terms
what she doesn't want.....
ha ha!
"No"
is one of her most used words right now.

Ive started teaching her how to read.


How many times do we put our Savior in a box?
How many times do we allow
our
preconceived
notions
of who God is
get in the way
of
who
"I AM I am" is.......

As I heard Beth Moore say this week in our Revelation study.
"lets be women that are open to a new Revelation."
Oh I want to be......


I just saw this and it got me to thinking........
