And as her Heart softens, God Softens Mine

On the way to visit Salinda, I heard this song on the radio by Jon McLaughlin called Beautiful Disaster. God used it to soften my heart (though it was already on the way to being softened) and help me understand my daughter a little bit....and helped me realize that maybe she does need us to take her home. And the song also reminded me of several 17 year old girls who are going to age out of foster care this year, many of whom I have been trying to find families for, so maybe this song/post will soften your heart and a girl like this could become your daughter as well.

Beautiful Disaster

She loves her mama's lemonade,
Hates the sound that goodbyes make.
She prays one day she'll find someone to need her.
She swears that there's no difference,
Between the lies and compliments.
It's all the same if everybody leaves her.

And every magazine tells her she's not good enough,
The pictures that she sees make her cry.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between, a beautiful disaster,
And she just needs someone to take her home.

She's giving boys what they want, tries to act so nonchalant,
Afraid they'll see that she's lost her direction.
She never stays the same for long,
Assuming that she'll get it wrong.
Perfect only in her imperfection.

She's not a drama queen,
She doesn't want to feel this way, only seventeen but tired

She would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between, a beautiful disaster,
But she just needs someone to take her home.

Cuz she's just the way she is, but no ones told her that's ok.

And she would change everything, everything just ask her.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

And she would change everything for happy ever after.
Caught in the in between of beautiful disaster,

But she just needs someone to take her home
And she just needs someone to take her home.
