A Mama's Love

    "Scoot, where are you? Scoot?" rings out through my house joy fills my heart! My dear mother is home! She is not only a mom, but a friend, someone to talk to. We have been through so much together more than any friend in my life. Through trials, fears, pain, joy, happiness, celebrations of love, you name it!! Back in 2008 at the MSC nursing program orientation one of the professors told the students (my mom included) that each one of them needed a mount dragon along the way. I remember that day, because mommy had asked me to come with her. That day then and there we established that we were each other's mount dragons. This was just the beginning of a bond that has lasted for so many years! 

     

    "Scoot!!! I got a song for you to sing!!! It is perfect for you!" my mother runs into my room holding her iPad playing one of the most beautiful songs 'blessings' by Laura Story. As I listened to the words I understood my mom's connection to the song. In our life my family has been blessed beyond measure. I was able to go to and graduate from a private Christian school, and so was my brother. I grew up with a house, food, clothes, I got a car of my own at 17. Even though my family and I have had WOW so many issues God has ALWAYS provided. I might not have been when I wanted it to be or how I wanted it to be. But it happened! He is an awesome God!!! I mean this trip could not have come into place with out him! 

'We pray for blessings 

We pray for peace

Comfort for family, protection while we sleep

We pray for healing, for prosperity

We pray for your mighty hand to ease our suffering

All the while, You hear each spoken need

Yet love us way too much to give us lesser things. 

'Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops,

What if Your healing comes through tears

What if a thousand sleepless nights 

Are what it takes to know You're near

What if trials of this life are your mercies in disguise.'  

-Blessings by Laura Story 

    My prayer to the Lord for years and years was to have a "perfect family" but I realized I had mine. My mother and I had a daddy who loved me for me and cared about me= MY HEAVENLY FATHER!!! He is my daddy I can run too! I do!! He accepts me into his loving arms, yet he also holds me to his word. I abided by his word and try to learn from him every day. 

    Mother, Mommy, Mama, Madre, Mom, and so on all these are names of my hero. The woman I look up to, who took time off from her career and schooling to take care of her children and become a full time mom. Who then went back to school and got her NURSING degree in 2010, and now is back to get her BSN! She is AMAZING!!!! But she is not alone! God is on her side, but so is her whittle mount dragon from 2008..... ME! I will never give up on this amazing women who has never given up on me! Who has prayed over me and blessed me so many times! She is my hero and I love her!!!
