Mothers Day

With Mother's day being tomorrow, I've been thinking about the mothers in my life. I have been blessed with an amazing mom, who is always there for me and would do anything for me.

I'd be lost without her, shes one of my best friends. But along with blessing with a wonderful mom, God gave me many amazing other moms in my life like my awesome aunts, my friends' moms (my other moms), and my pastor and youth pastors' wives. They are always there to make sure I'm okay, look out for me, give me a hug when I need it, or offer advice. They give me a great example to follow. I love them with all my heart and thank God I have them. They will never know the affect they have had in my life, just knowing so many people care about me. They do an awesome job!! So heres a shout out to all the moms out there, you rock and I'd be lost without you. Thanks for all you do!!!

Fatherless

What is a father? A parent, a founder, a leader, a provider, a protector...at least that's what they should be. I've never experienced this type of man in my life, the man I call dad is quite the opposite. Lately I'm noticing theres a lot of people who wouldn't describe a father as that and know exactly how i feel. We are in a sense fatherless since we have never known the concept of an actual father. Some people don't have one while others just got crappy ones. I think the worst pain there is, is when the person who should love you unconditionally, a parent, doesn't. It's a pain that doesn't go away and can't be eased by passing time. I didn't believe there was any comfort for enduring this type of pain. Then i realized we aren't fatherless afterall. I have a father who loves me unconditionally, forgives my failures, and never will walk away from me. He's my provider and my protector. No matter what my earthly father thinks of me, my heavenly father thought I was to die for.
