She is the one who gave me life. With the staggering number of abortions every year, I look around at a world of chaos and madness and ask "Why?!" I thank GOD and my mother for giving me the GIFT of LIFE! I thank God that she saw the value of life and chose to give me life!! And not only life but showed me Christ and eternal life!!
She is my BEST friend. Through thick and thin she has stuck by me. She has watched from the sidelines cheering me on and she has run along side me with water when I was in need. She hangs out with me, jokes with me, talks about God with me, shops with me, watches movies with me, and goes on random "naughty" trips to Starbucks with me. We share each other's secrets and love each other no matter what!!
She is my role model. The one I look up too and try to model my life after. If there is anything praiseworthy or beautiful seen in me it is first because I saw it in my mother and all of my days I have set under her to learn from her so that I can someday teach my children as well.
She is my teacher. From walking and talking, homeschooling, and singing, to chores, cooking, responsibilities, character, integrity, etc. These are all things my mother has taught me. There are countless lessons learned over the past 23 years; little moments, words of wisdom, eyes watching when she was unaware, and unconditional love that has made me the woman I am today. It was because of the severity of her love for me that I pray everyday to be the kid of woman she is!!
She is my angel. Good times or bad. She is my angel. When it seems like nothing is going right she is there to cheer me up and encourage and strengthen me. She is the angel on my shoulder that when my friends have wanted to do things they knew were wrong, I could stop and say confidently that I wanted no part of it because my "angel" taught me well and was watching over me.
She is my intercessor. Boy! That woman can pray!! I have been in hard places, in dark places but let me tell you when the Devil wanted to fight off when those oven mitts and my mom was in his face fighting him tooth and nail!! She is an intercessor, a warrior, and though she is small on the outside she is a giant in the faith on the inside!! She will pray through every storm, every fight, every battle, every war, and every spiritual attack that the enemy DARES to try throwing at her. She IS the kind of woman that when her feet hit the foot in the morning the devil cries, "OH no! She's up!!"
She is my personal cheerleader. Well, besides the fact that my mother really WAS a cheerleader, she is my biggest fan! She is the one person that I know will be there for me no matter where I go or what I do and she will cheer louder then any other person because she is MY mom!! She is the one that encourages me when I feel like I cannot go on and she motivates me to be all that I can be and won't let me quit on myself!
And lastly, but certainly not least, she is MY MOM!! She is not some random mother out in the world but she is MY mother!! God gave her to ME and when He did that He gave me the greatest earthly gift He ever could! He gave me a woman that is passion about God and after His heart. He gave me a woman that always puts everyone before herself. He gave me a woman that's beauty shine s from the inside out AND the outside in!! He gave me a woman that is faithful, loyal, sacrificial, dependable, trustworthy, hard-working, etc! And He gave me a woman that is FAR beyond rubies!!! A woman that praises the Lord above all!! And THAT is why I want to be JUST LIKE HER!!!!!!
I love you, Marmee!!!
Happy Mother's Day!!
