I'M CELEBRATING MOTHERS DAY FOR THE FIRST TIME
ALL WOMEN ARE MOTHERS
A DEEP PEACE
And here’s a blog post from Lovelle sharing how God brought us together too.
Mothers and Moments
"As hard as I tried to ignore it, my desire to be loved by two Godly parents didn’t go away. Little did I know that God would turn my world upside down by introducing me to two wonderful people named Holley and Mark Gerth... Psalm-27-10...
I remember the first time I found out that God gave me Holley. It was my 21st birthday and I was speaking to the Boys and Girls Club after-school program. Holley had taken time out of her busy schedule to watch me speak to the children. At first I was a little taken aback when she asked if she could come watch. I had done things like that before but when I did, no one came. I just did it myself. After my speech Holley came up to me and told me something I had waited for years to hear. “Do you remember when I told you God said he would give me a 20 year old daughter?”, she asked. “Yes”, I replied. “Well, as I was praying the other day, it hit me. It’s you.”
Those words left me speechless. All I had ever wanted were parents. I wanted to feel special and loved. I desired so badly to be cherished and to feel like I actually mattered to someone. My parents had shown me that I wasn’t and now after years of holding that desire close to my heart God had finally given it to me. I was so thankful that God had answered my prayer. Proverbs says that a thankful heart is good medicine. Although I don’t understand why things had to happen the way they did, I am going to thank God for answering that desire even though I didn’t think I would ever have it answered.
Holley and Mark are a reminder to hold onto God’s promises because we serve a God that says “yes” even when life circumstances tell us no.
As you celebrate this Mother’s Day I encourage you to cherish your children. They need you. It’s the simple things in life that mean so much to your children like saying, “I’m proud of you,” and cheering them on at their school events. It’s the hug and kiss good bye that will stay in their hearts for the rest of their lives. It’s the unspoken prayers and the guidance that shows love and concern. You can never get those moments back so take advantage of every single opportunity. Those moments, although simple, are so extremely important. As Holley, Mark, and I start our lives as a family we will cherish moments just like that because those are the things that shape a family. Those are the things that create bonds that can never be broken. Happy Mothers Day."
