I would like to wish my beautiful mother a Happy Mother's Day! Growing up everyone would tell me I was my mother's child but I didn't want to be ANYTHING like her. I rebelled and became the total OPPOSITE of her(she is a goody to shoes...lol). We had more than our fair share of spats and I am sure I said some hurtful things(truth be told I know I said some hurtful things). I can distinctly remember when our relationship changed...I was 29 going on 30 and I was going through a rough time in my life but my mother was my ROCK! She allowed me to cry on her shoulders and was there for me at all times of the night and never complained. She spoke LIFE into me daily and always had a word for me! One prophetic word was I may not remember my 20s but I was definitely going to remember my 30s....I was going to come into my own! Hallelujah she was so right...lol. Just as our relationship was changing GOD opened the door for my mother to go to work oversees. We had conversation before she left and during the conversation she said I was her friend. As a teenagers my mom would always tell me I am not your friend I am you mother( I am sure we have all heard that at one time or another) so to hear her say that was awesome. Today I have the BEST relationship with my mother and it is my desire to be EXACTLY like her! She is my encourager, my minister, my prayer partner, my protector, my intercessor, my prophetess, my adviser and she is also my best friend! Now it doesn't bother me at all when people call me lil Andrena...I look like her and act like her but it is my desire to be a woman of GOD like her.
Mama I LOVE you with EVERYTHING that is me! I pray you have the best day and I am counting down the days until we see each other again!
Proverbs 31:10, 25-30 Who can find a virtuous woman? She is far more precious than jewels... Strength and honor are her clothing, and she can laugh at the time to come. She opens her mouth with wisdom, and loving instruction is on her tongue. She watches over the activities of her household and is never idle. Her sons rise up and call her blessed. Her husband also praises her: Many women are capable, but you surpass them all! Charm is deceptive and beauty is fleeting, but a woman who fears the Lord will be praised.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7 Love is patient; love is kind. Love is not jealous; is not proud;
is not conceited; does not act foolishly; is not selfish; is not easily
provoked to anger; keeps no record of wrongs; takes no pleasure in
unrighteousness, but rejoices in the truth; love bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, and endures all things.
Blessings
