There’s a song by Johnny Diaz called, “Scars,” and it has a
really good meaning behind it. The chorus goes something like this,
“Praise God we don’t have to hide scars, they just
strengthen our wounds and they soften our hearts. They remind us of where we
have been, but who we are. Praise God, Praise God we don’t have to hide scars.”
So why do I feel like I have to hide my scars from everyone?
When you look at my arms you see scars, upon scars, upon
scars. On the inside of my left arm, there is the word “perfect.”
The biggest one is on my left arm, its story is too hard to
explain.
I don’t praise God for not having to hide my scars, because I
do hide mine. I have to hide mine.
You shouldn't have to hide your scars. ... It should just remind you of a place you were at one time and a place you don't want to go back to. We all have some type of scars. You are doing great. ... Keep it up. Love ya Aunt Vicki
ReplyDeleteSome scars are on the outside and we can make a choice to hide them or reveal them. Some are on the inside and the decision to conceal or reveal becomes a much more difficult decision. You are an amazing young woman who has decided to reveal those inner scars, little by little. Your courage astounds me. Stay strong, and continue pealing away at what has caused both the inner & outer scars. LOVE YOU!
