Well first of all Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's out there, but especially my mom.
As I was in church this morning and he was reading the passage in Proverbs 31 that talks about the character of a noble wife and mother. It got me thinking about what my mom truly means to mean and how so many times in our day to day life we take things for granted. There are not enough words to express what my mom means to me. I love her with everything within me. She is not only my mother but my best friend. When I look at my mom, I see so much of myself in her :)
My mom has done a phenomonal job at raising me and my brother. She has not only been mom, but dad, and friend. She has such strength about her. I know sometimes she does not even see it or realize it but she does. I look up to her and admire her for the woman of God that she is. I thank her for the way she has raised me and brought me up. Maybe there have been times when I didn't want to hear what she had to say or was on opposite ends of thinking but in the end there was always truth in what she spoke. The words of wisdom she has spoken, the prayers she has offered up, the tears she has cried, the laughs she has shown, the encouragemnt she gives and the love that she daily shows truly reflects the mother, friend and woman of God that she is. I love her for her. She is beautiful on the inside and out. She makes me laugh and smile everytime I see her. She brings joy to my heart.
My prayers is that one day I will be half the mother to my children that she has been to me and my brother.
It's overwhelming to think that I am now 21, at that age where in the next couple years I could be married then entering into the next chapter of my life and then one day becoming a mother of my own. It seemed like just yesterday I was a little girl swinging in your arms and playing in the sand. My how time has flown. But don't ever doubt everything that you have instilled in my from the time I was born was worth every bit of it.
MoM... I love you. Thanks for being my mom and friend. You are an amazing woman of God. never doubt who you are. You have an awesome heart. Keep pressing on and believing that God's best is yet to come. Doors that no man can open but God will open. Our family is in his hands. He loves you more than you know and so do I. Thanks for everything that you are, everything you do and for helping to shape me into the woman that I am today. I would not be who I am if it was not for your prayers, devotions, challenges, tears, laughs, and most of all love. First Mother and Daughter and always Best Friends Forever.........
