Celebrating My Mother





The picture above was my moms favorite plant. She just loved birds of paradise. You Know before I became a Christian I would mourn on mothers day. I would cry most of the day and not even want to be around those who have there moms. It was incredibly hard.

However, because God gave me new life, today I celebrate my mother who was a incredible lady! My mom was a lady who was a great friend , who would help anybody in a second, who take her cloths off her back to help a stranger. With that said there were no strangers. My mother was a lady who loved so many and if she didn't know you she still loved you. She was strong,vibrant,loving,beautiful inside and out.


Dear Mom,

I miss you so much but today I celebrate you. I am up early talking to God because since you left I gave my life to him. He has been amazing mom he is taking care of me every minute of the day. As I sit here this morning smiling about all the amazing times we shared I look out into the patio and I see my daily reminder, your Birds of Paradise.

It has been hard since you left and I pray that you were saved, I have an amazing church family they are my saving grace. I want you to know mom that today I will think of you often and smile often because of your love you gave me. I know we had eachother a very short time but I know it was enough time because you taught me so much. I still hear your voice and everytime I pass a butterfly I smile. I pray today that my brothers will come to Christ mom so that they to can and will celebrate your life rather then mourn it.

Mamá, le amo y le echo de menos gracias por amarme. Sé un día veremos otra vez. ¡Usted es realmente echado de menos y amado dan a mi papá un abrazo grande y el beso porque hoy lo echo de menos tanto!

¡Hasta que Nos encontremos Otra vez!

Mija

Trusting In Him!!!





I have wonder why God has me here at this Job. It is a tough place to work and it is so of the world. I really need to stay focused and seek him minute by minute even at times second by second.

I believe this past friday at 5:15PM God shared with me why I am here at this job. Marina's ( a girl I work with) mom had surgery on friday to have a tumor removed. The doctors really thought that it would be a simple procedure and she would have a few weeks of recovery and she would move on and be fine. Well at 5:15PM on Friday Marina called Dan and I and shared with us that her mother (by doctors standards) was given 2 months to live with out chemo and 4 years with. I was crushed because I knew exactly how she felt. The pain the sadness, the uncertain feeling but then God said no no , you walk with me now give to me. Show her me through you be strong he said for her be strong. The lord said don't go back and feel your pain and remember that pain feel my love and my hope and my understanding!!! Praise God!!!!

I was around the same age of Marina when I lost my mom I know the pain she is going through and I have been blessed to be able to pray with her mom and her and right now I just need to ask God to help me not take the pain on physically for her but to take it on spiritually and seek God to show me how to help her how he wants me to help her. I know it is hard and hurts and I also know he will bring so much good out of all of this.

I know God will show me what he wants and how to share it. I am so amazed by what God has done in my life and he has let me live in his Glory!!! So blessed I am so in love with Chirst it is amazing! Thank you FATHER for all you do for me daily!

Trusting in Him!
