Bullet Proof

Ever since the first time I heard the song Titanium by Sia, I have always felt very connected to it. A few weeks ago during a family reunion all the kids were doing a talent show/karaoke party. Bailey sang this song when it was her turn.

Just listen to these words.

You shout it out
But I can't hear a word you say
I'm talking loud not saying much
I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet
You shoot me down, but I get up

[Chorus:]
I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

Cut me down
But it's you who have further to fall
Ghost town, haunted love
Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones
I'm talking loud not saying much

[Chorus:]

I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose
Fire away, fire away
Ricochet, you take your aim
Fire away, fire away
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium
You shoot me down but I won't fall
I am titanium

So here is the deal. We are all fighting for something. Hoping to make it through stronger. Don't you ever quit. Hard times, good time. Be you and don't let anyone, or any gun, or any fear stop you. 

I am so proud of this girl, who despite all she has been through will get up on a stage or stand in front of a room full of cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents to share her gift to sing from her heart and testify of her strength. I see it in all of them, each one of my kids. Overcoming and not only standing tall, but fighting to never let it bring them down.  

The girls are starting a little fun channel on Youtube for preteens if you have any girls who want to check it out:
