This week's affirmation focuses on balancing  a perfectionist mindset. I think many of us battle with this at times.

Affirmations are an excellent way to boost our confidence through verbally exercised quotes that  bring good energy and kind thoughts to the heart and soul.

Biography:

From classical pianist to American Idol alum, Scott MacIntyre is an inspiration.  Born blind and a two-time kidney transplant recipient, he is living proof that God can take seemingly insurmountable circumstances and work them together for good.

“When I was 19, I found out my kidneys were failing,” says Scott.  “The hardest thing for me was not having enough strength to play the piano and sing anymore.”

After a year on dialysis, his piano teacher’s wife donated her kidney to Scott and saved his life.

Eight years later, Scott was in need of a second kidney transplant, when an anonymous living donor offered to undergo compatibility testing after hearing about Scott’s need on the radio.

“To think that a stranger would want to save my life was overwhelming,” Scott remarks.

In 2015, Scott underwent his second successful kidney transplant.  The following year, he and his wife Christina welcomed their son Christian into the world.

Having been deeply impacted by the selfless acts of Scott’s two donors, he and Christina set out to help others find hope in the midst of hardship.  In 2019 “Scott MacIntyre Ministries” was established to inspire those in need through the arts, and its timely message of redemption is resounding with thousands in schools, churches, and through television and media.

“Just like I was powerless to save myself physically until my kidney donors stepped in, we’re all powerless to save ourselves spiritually, yet Jesus Christ stepped in.  I want every person who hears my music and story to understand God’s amazing grace more deeply.”

On August 18th 2021, Scott and Christina celebrated 10 years of marriage and their daughter Stella’s first birthday, who was born on their anniversary the previous year.
