I know I haven't posted like I said I would, but this weekend has been slightly hectic. I traveled back home so I could be able to tell my sweet mother happy birthday! Needless to say, my schedule was kept plenty busy and blogging wasn't a priority. I wish I could share all the wonderful things I experienced and maybe shortly I will, but for today, I want to tell you about my mother.
People have stereotypes. Not always a good thing, but they are there nonetheless. Whats a stereotype for a mom? Well if you don't have a clear picture in your head, go ahead and picture mine. I'm rather certain that she is the mere depiction of an idyllic mother. Sure, she does the routine stuff. Bake cookies and cupcakes, send me home with sweet tea and quarters for laundry, soothe the stress, and help stop the tears. That by itself is enough to make her beyond amazing.
But God didn't stop there. Not only is she constantly giving and loving on others, but she is a fearful, woman of God. Every morning I could find her sitting at the table, praying over her family. Every day. Not a day passed that I haven't been prayed over. She's led several bible studies with me and my sisters, including one over Proverbs 31. How to be a virtuous woman. She strives daily to be that woman and encourages her daughters to be the same. What a blessing!
I feel so blessed to have my mom. To have in her a best friend, a comforter, a peace maker, a culinary artist, a role model, a Godly example. The list could continue forever. I love you mom and am SO thankful I was able to spend your birthday with you. I love you and can't wait to see you again. I hope you realize the positive impact you have had on me. I LOVE YOU!! :)
