There are many words I can say that would sum up what My Mommy means to me but at the end of the day, those words would pale in comparison to the feeling I get when I see my mom.
I am grateful that I have a mother that is a strong woman. I have seen her go through a bad divorce, loss of homes, cars, jobs and she is still a trooper. I have seen her be diagnosed with cancer and come through it never losing her faith in God.
My mother is more than my mom, I consider her a friend and a confidante. When I have no one else I can turn to my mother is always there. Now my mother is not a touchy feely person but I know she loves me because I have seen her fight for me in times I thought she wouldn't
My mother and I have had some hard times, yelling matches, and I am sure there were times that she wished I would go away. However, in 2007 when God called me into full-time ministry and I walked off my job, she was there. She gave me a place to stay. Now I am not going to say that she understood because she didn't. She knew that I could get a job and many times said it. On the other hand, my mom has been my biggest supporter and fan.
She has prayed for me since I was a child and even though she doesn't say it much she is proud of me and what she sees God doing in my life.
My mother is MY mother and I would fight for her against the world if it required that. I have such great love in me for the mother that bore me into this world. I am who I am because of her. She taught me how to be a woman of God and to walk with my head held high. Not to give into what people think of me.
So Happy Mother's Day Mom. I could say more and I am sure I will before I leave this world but for now, just know that your oldest child loves you and I will continue to cherish the time that I have with you.
