I very much wanted to take the opportunity to say “Happy Mother’s Day” to all the moms in the CCI Community. What an awsome responsibility you’ve been given. While this season is a challenging one for me I would be remissed if I did not give honor and tribute to the mother’s who have made such an impact in my growth and development. God has surrounded me with a mighty cloud of witnesses who have stood in the gap. Those are the ones who have supported, prayed, encouraged and uplifted me during the illness and ultimately the death of my mother.
For a couple of weeks leading up to Mother’s Day there were times that my heart was extremely heavy, I felt anxious for that one day to come and go. In addition, I was unable to articulate what was going on in my emotions. All I knew for certain was that I wasn’t going to crash because God say I wasn’t designed to. Not by my might or power, but by His spirit.
I thank God that He cares so much about how I am doing that in the midst of Saturday morning prayer He began to heal my heart. All the tears that I had been choking back for the pass three and a half months came forth. I could feel God working on my heart, loving me, telling me its okay to feel however I was feeling. He understood all the emotions I was wrestling with internally. God was standing right in front of me with open arms waiting for me to release the burdens I had been carrying for my family and get lost in His embrace. Never had I experienced the power of God in such a way.
Had I not gone to prayer this morning and received my break through and healing I would have walked into Mother’s Day an emotional wreck unable to fully celebrate the women who deserve to be honored. I would have cheated them of their just dues. There is one woman that I must call out by name for so many reasons. Mom Bobbie, first and foremost I thank God for you. I celebrate you, I honor you, I love you and I appreciate you. Thank you for your strength, your words and your committment to see not only my life, but the lives of others changed. Thank you for being stedfast and unmoveable in the faith. Thank you for being available.
I honor each and every women in the community, for your handprints are engrafted in my heart forever. To all the mothers, Wow!!! You have my continue prayer. My heart is for all your children to reach their fullness in Christ Jesus and triumph into their destinies. I avail myself to labor with you and for them. Happy Mother’s Day!
