Don't Be Sad

Mommy, please don't be sad.  I know this is tough.
Mommy, please don't be sad.  You loved me enough. 
Mommy, please don't be sad.  I know you wanted me to grow.   
Mommy, please don't be sad.  I know you love me so.   
Mommy, please don't be sad.  I know you want me back.
Mommy, please don't be sad.  I'm safe where I'm at.  
Mommy, please don't be sad.  I know how much you've cried.
Mommy, please don't be sad.  I know how much you've tried. 


I want you to know how much you mean to me. 
I want you to know that you are a blessing.
I want you to know that I didn't go far.
I want you to know that I'm up in the stars.  
I want you to know that when you are missing me.
Just look up to the Heavens and you will see. 
I want you to know that I miss you so.
I want you to know that I had to let go.
I want you to know that God gave me the best mommy He knew.  
That's why I love you the way that I do.  



 Mommy, next time you think of me, please don't be sad.  
Just look up and smile and you won't feel quite as bad.  
Mommy, I know this is hard on you.
You didn't want me to go. 
But mommy, I'm home now, with Our Lord.
I had to leave you, but, this isn't goodbye. 
I'm safe and sound way up high.    
My Heavenly Father will watch over me.
Just like you would have, can't you see?  

I want you to know, I love you so.  
I want you to know, I didn't let you go.  
I want you to know, you'll always be in my heart.  
I want you to know that you were the best part. 
There are a lot of hurting mommies out there today.  I know your pain all too well.  But for one mommy, I want you to know that you have been on my heart all day.  I feel your sorrow. I feel your pain.  I literally started writing this message for you at a red light.  I'm praying for you.

Thank You, God, for Making Me a Mom

Looking back on my life, when I was just a small girl, I dreamt of becoming a mother one day. Being a mom was the only thing I wanted to be when I grew up.  I didn't have aspirations to be a doctor or a lawyer or a teacher.  I simply wanted to be a mom.  So today, I am so thankful to my God.  He is the one who allowed my childhood dream of motherhood to come true. I am truly humbled that he picked me to be Cody and Owen's mommy. I come from a lineage of women who set the perfect example of what it is to be a great mom. The love of a mother is endless, as my mom, continues to show me even as I am an adult and have children of my own.   Today is the day we celebrate our moms and all of their hard work.  To show our appreciation to the one who has cared for us and loved us from day one.  As I celebrate my mother and all she continues to do, I am also reflecting upon my God.  What a mighty God we serve.  It's because of His blessin...

Joy in the Face Of

Living with joy in the face of… I didn’t just wake up with joy one day.  I couldn’t feel it and I didn’t want it.  All I wanted was what my heart wanted and that’s all I could see.  The truth is, living with joy in the face of seems almost impossible, right; at least when you’re in the thick of it.  That is what I thought when this parental alienation started.  When I went from being able to speak to my children and hold them in my arms to nothing, I thought this was what would break me and snuff out my light.   But here I am, twenty-one months later, and I’m living with joy in the face of.  What I didn’t know in the beginning of it all was that the pain I felt combined with the joy I would soon allow to consume me, would work together in a way that even I can’t fathom just yet.  The two, would catapult my faith to a place it needed to go in order to see a perspective I couldn’t yet see.   The pain and joy working together trans...

Reflection—I’ve been on a journey through it lately.  Of moments gone, of things I wish I would have; of wondering how despite the… Reflection always teaches me something about life.  It teaches me something I may have overlooked or maybe refused to acknowledge in the face of.  It helps me to see things in a way I need to in order to clearly see. Reflecting has a funny way of showing me what is when what I’m looking at is upside down and maybe a little blurry.  Almost always pointing back to the direction of my thinking in the face of, and what I can change for what’s to come.   I’m thankful for what a little reflection can do for me.  Taking the blurry parts and making them crystal clear.  God always shows up in moments I least expect—but in moments when He knows I’ll hear him the loudest.  It’s in the middle of all the blurry parts of life, I need a little perspective.  And today, it took the dead of winter and an ice storm to ...
