Mother's Day Weekend 2017

Happy Mother's Day!!
This was something I wrote last Mother's Day but I wanted to share it here again:

...a mother's heart is a reflection of God's heart, His selfless character and His unconditional love. Becoming a mother changed everything for me. My whole world turned from all about me to all about them the moment I laid eyes on their faces. Such a beautiful transformation of taking someone so selfish and making them more like Jesus on this journey of motherhood. As much as I feel I fail all the time, today I felt the love of Jesus in such a huge way that washed over me and made me see motherhood as something worthy of celebrating because it's connected with the heart of God. 

Mothers bring beauty 

tenderness

nurture

compassion

love

joy

peace

patience

kindness

understanding

creativeness

and so much more.

All of which are pieces of God worthy to be celebrated...

Here's some mama quotes that I love...

The impression that a praying Mother leaves upon her children is life-long.

- Dwight L. Moody

I remember my mother's prayers and they have always followed me. 

They have clung to me all my life. 

Abraham Lincoln

All that I am, or hope to be, I owe to my angel mother. 

Abraham Lincoln

My nickname is "Mom" but my full name is 

"Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom Mom"

{unknown but definitely by a mama}

Motherhood is such an incredible gift and honor. I've learned so much from my own mama... she's selfless, strong, giving, sacrificial, loves well and forgives deeply. She showed me how to love a husband, no matter what you face. She has taken me and my whole big family into her home so graciously and helped us in our darkest days. My children adore her and forever I'm so grateful that she risked her life to have me... only a mama would do something like that. 

" She made broken look beautiful & strong look invincible. She walked with the universe on her shoulders and made it look like a pair of wings."
