Looking to God...
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble. whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable- if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things. Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me-put it into practice. And the Lord of peace will be with you.
Philippians 4:8-9
When we as humans get down on ourselves we think about all the pain we have caused or have had in our lives or we play the blame game with ourselves. The maybes, if i only, what if, but in all reality how is that gonna help us. How are the maybes, if only and what if going to help, we know they are not but we keep ourselves there beating ourselves up for the changes that we cannot make now but feel we should have made in the past.
That is not what God want us to do though, he doesn't want us to dwell on the things of the past, the things we could have maybe done differently. Instead he wants us to think about the things these verses say. What true, noble, right, pure , lovely, admirable, anything excellent or praiseworthy. In all honesty those are hard, to think about whatever is life or mine. Coming from what seems like the lowest of lows and falling into God's open arms is such an amazing feeling. Looking to him for comfort and asking him to help the past stay in the past and not come to the front of the new that I want my life to be. I want to follow God fully putting off the old garbs and putting on fresh new clothes, in other words
Happy Mother's Day!
I want to start out by talking about my adopted mom who I always have know as mom and who will always be my mom. Almost 26 years ago my mom travel thousands of miles to go to a country where she didn't know the language to well and adopted me. We have had many adventures together, we have had out heart aches and healing just like anyone else. My mom and I have always been close or at least for the most part. My mom has seen me go through my fair share of heart ache and joy. My mom to me is an amazing person she has raised 3 adult children and has 2 children under the age of 10 that she is raising and shaping them into fine Christians.
Growing up as a kid I always remember thinking how amazing my mom was cause she worked, raised me and my older siblings, was our cheerleader at sports or singing, always said you can be whatever you want to be. Always loved us even when we have been hard to love. Always made us laugh and been there when we have cried. I love how we still to this day can go to mom and talk. I remember as a kid my mom's bed was like the no judgement zone and when we needed to talk to her thats where we went. I LOVE YOU MOM WITH ALL MY HEART.
Now I want to talk about my biological mom, I honestly dont think I have ever said anything about her on mother's day before. Its one of those hardships that I have had to deal with throughout my life but now feel like I can talk about it and it doesn't hurt. I want to thank her on this mother's day weekend, I know that to some may seem weird but I do want to thank her. My biological mother loved me enough that she gave me up for adoption. My biological mother went into a near by hospital and had me and left knowing that the people at the hospital would take care of me and find me a good home. To me that is such an sweet sacrifice and loving beyond belief.
For those who like me have a hard time on mother's day due to your loss (of a child). This day can be hard, but I have to remember to be happy for those who are mothers and are having children even when it is for me hard to be happy. We are mothers as well its just a different kind of mom that we are. We don't get to see our little ones grow into these amazing people here on earth but we have to remember they are amazing people in Heaven. They don't have to feel the pain we have here on earth or the heartaches, they are happy they don't have the pain we do and are so happy and joyful. I can make us happy to know that.
On this Mother's Day, I wanna say thank you to my mom and bio mom for the love and sacrifices you both have made for me and for my little ones.. I will see u when God calls me home and how awesome it will be to see you faces!
