Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to my Beautiful Mother! 

She has been a mom for 34 years and she has been a faithful example (all those years) of a woman who loves Christ and her family. I am honored to be her daughter and cherish her friendship! 

I love you and miss you, mom! 

Happy Mother's Day to my Wonderful Mother-in-Law! 

She truly has welcomed me into her family and is one of the most giving and loving people I have ever met. She is always sweet and kind and I am blessed to be her daughter-in-law. I love you, Lina!
Thank you for raising such an amazing son.

Here are my little chickadees who have made me a mother for the past 8 years. 

I love them dearly and am blessed to be their mom.

And I couldn't ask for better gifts:) 

Elijah did make me a scarf at preschool (not pictured) which I proudly wore today. 

After I opened everything he whispered in my ear, "mom which one is really, really your favorite?" 

I know he wanted me to pick his:) 

Mother's Day

 Today, on Mother's Day, I have seven and a half years of being a mother under my belt.

I am so blessed to have four children to raise, nurture, disciple, love, cuddle, tickle, kiss, hug....

Motherhood is so rewarding, so tiring, so revealing, so encouraging, so exhausting, so wonderful! 

Praises be to Christ who gives me grace every moment to raise these little people.

And praises go to my mother who showed her daughter by example how to love, how to train, how to encourage, how to persevere..

"Mom, I love you and thank you for showing me a commitment to Christ in everything you do. You have never wavered in your faith even in the midst of trial and heartache. You have raised me to love God above all else and have shown me how to sacrifice and pour myself out in service for my family. You are worthy of much praise and honor and I rise up and call you 'blessed'. I wish we lived near one another and I miss you every day."
