Legacy of a Godly Mother

Legacy of a Godly Mother

As a little girl, I can remember being asked what I wanted to be when I grew up.  

Simply stated- I wanted to be a mom.

On December 4th 2008 and February 10th 2011 my dream came true.

I am a mom.

A mom to two beautiful children.

My life has changed.

Today at church the pastor started a new series on the Legacy of a Godly Mother. And I must say, I am inspired. Not to BE the perfect mother (or wife for that matter) but to raise my children to know the Lord. 

What a special gift. And also, what a huge responsibility. 

God spoke to me this morning. I want more than anything for my children to come to know Christ but how do I show them God's love when I have two children, one whining the other screaming because he's hungry? When Jon returns home from a long day of school or work- how do I teach my children to greet him with open arms when I just want to (and often times do) scream at him? 


I want to be a mom who loves on my children even when I'm having a bad day. 
I want to pray for and with my children often- not just at bedtime and meals.
I want to show them how to spend time with God.


As Mother's Day quickly approaches- I want to thank my moms for being Godly Woman.
For setting such amazing examples.


Happy Mother's Day
