Wishing for amazing blessings on Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day everyone! Mother's Day this year was filled with amazing blessings as this past year welcomed 3 more lovely children into my life. Mother's Day, for me, holds such an incredible validation of God's love and how He places purpose into lives. It's hard to imagine now when looking back how out of control life really was for me at one time, and how God changed my life in an instant, but how long it took me some time to grow comfortable with those changes. In those days I truly was a lost soul longing for purpose. My life was literally spiraling out of control and I remember pleading with God for His help and comfort. For years I had hoped for the opportunity to be a mother and for years nothing happened. It felt like I was wishing for an honor I felt unworthy of ever bestowing. See, I was stuck in a rut and spiraling downward and time after time I was even unaware things were growing more bleak. I remember thinking with such desperation that something, anything, must come along in order to save my treacherous life. God knew the desires of my heart and He had not forsaken me, and brought great news that I would bear a child. I would be having a baby -- the one prayer I longed for was answered! The lifesaving news was confirmed on a very special day -- Mother's Day just 11 years ago -- and the greatest gift that saved my life is my daughter Marissa! Change began on that Mother's Day of 1997 and I see the goodness from it each and every day! Just when my life seemed almost hopeless, through God's love and perfect gifts my world brightened and it's been shining ever since. So you see, Mother's Day is such a special day in my life and I truly know that children and family are to be treasured -- they bring great life!

Thank you Father for the joy of being a mother!

May your Mother's Day and all your days be amazing! Thinking of you on Mother's Day!
