I am sure that a lot of you have heard of the online project and books called "PostSecret". I have been a follower since the start and own all the books, go to the website every Sunday for new secrets etc. A lot of them speak to me, some make me laugh, some make me realize my own secrets.
This week is Mother's Day secrets and this secret below made me sad/angry/realize another of my own secrets. It made me sad that someone called a c-section scar "NASTY"....
Here is my secret: MY C-SECTION SCAR MAKES ME FEEL BEAUTIFUL.
Let me explain. My scar is like a reminder everyday that I am a mother. The sacrifice to my own body in order to bring a healthy boy into my family. Sure there is a spot that is still a bit numb, and my scar is still dark enough to be seen a bit, but it's my scar and I love it.
Some of you may complain every time you find a stretch mark too, and I hate reading pregnancy updates saying "Oh i found A stretch mark" - I have a 100, seriously, my stomach, thighs, breasts {and yes I put lotion on everyday I was pregnant for those who think that helps...} and everyone of them is a reminder of the beauty that is given to us by God to grow a life inside of us.
I love my scars, they make me a woman, they make me a Mother. Something I am proud to be, especially today.
