My mom lives out of state and said she wasn't coming to Alabama this year, so I will not be spending the day with her, but I will definitely be calling her and wishing her a VERY happy Mother's Day! I actually talked to her yesterday and she told me, "I think Mother's Day is just a holiday for the greeting card companies." (followed by a giggle) She is so silly. I do believe this is true, but I am SO looking forward to be rewarded for being a mommy for the 1st time!
On that note, I wanted to just reflect for a minute about what I have learned in the (almost) 9 months of motherhood! (Side Note: I can't believe she's almost 9 months old!!)
Having Reagan, as you all may know by now, has been a difficult and trying journey. She was born with difficulties and we pretty much lived in Birmingham for 2.5 months after her birth date. God has so graciously saved her and allowed her to be with us this far and I am so eternally grateful for this precious miracle he has given me! It's amazing to find out all that I haven taken for granted through the years. Reagan has taught me patience and the value of sleep. Even through frustrations and impatient-ness God has shown me how to love the only way a mother knows how!
So, not to get too deep for you, I am just VERY VERY thankful for the life I live. Completely imperfect, and COMPLETELY not what I saw myself doing at 21 years old...God has been glorified and is STILL receiving FULL glory for ALL that he has done. I love my life and am still excited about what lies ahead
**Father, Thank you for this life.
Thank you for being so real to me. God, I pray that you will continue to lift me
out of the rubble that you allowed me to be buried in. I am beginning to see the
surface and I am SO thankful for that! Thank you for this day, though dark and gloomy, yet beautiful in all your glory! I love you forever & always!
