The Mommy Moment


I am so thankful for today. Indeed it is a privilage and honor to pray, believe and receive the blessing of life. Today my daughter turned 21. Yes, this day has come and the level of gratitude and joy felt is immense.

Sure when we are pregnant and have our baby, that little life is entrusted to us for a period of time, belonging really to our creator, Jesus Christ. The way life begins and blossoms is amazing. Change is ongoing, as well as innovation and creativity. Every human being is different, and that uniqueness is innovative, creative and a real miracle.

I'm not sure how many  of you may have had the experience of nurturing another from a tender age, with an opportunity to see the growth happening right before your eyes. My niece just a week ago turned 25 years old and remarked that she is a quarter of a century, and suddenly I'm looking at my 'almost half a century' in a different light.

The little things don't seem to matter anymore and the other little things matter more. We spend so much of our lives chasing dreams and goals, eager for tomorrow that many times we miss today. When we pass the milestones do we even realise we just moved past that which will never be seen or discovered again?

I've been waiting for this moment and now I'm reflecting and wishing I had more of the baby time with my babies, the toddler times with my toddlers and yes, more of those teenage years. I can almost smell the baby powder, and the first scent of alcohol they tried to hide. This is a real mommy moment, and a call to action moment.

We can plant the seeds, nurture and give water, food and shade. Then we prune and move to a bigger pot, but at some point they must be planted in the ground and allowed to live sourcing their nutrients, as they were designed to do. The rains will come, the sun will bear down on them but they will stand firm on that soild ground of learning and knowledge they acquired under our wings.


So as many have done this before me, now I must follow, letting the plant, my baby, get into the ground and gow!

Just thinking out loud once more!!!

Let's Talk... A Love That Lasts

The courage to carry “To have a love that lasts forever, is to truly understand vows and commitment” (Eversley,2016) In all of my forty six years of life  I have waited for the commitment of true love. To really believe that there are people in this world who can cherish and care for another romantically has become a faded dream. A dream which has been archived into the fantasy part of my mental library. The love stories of long marriages  which are not abusive or filled with indiscretions seem ancient. The new lifestyle sets a pathway to divorces which have become their own academy awards on film. Acceptance of prenuptial agreements and exit clauses are now necessary when thinking of love – whether in a celebrity career or leading a nondescript livelihood. To this end I did weep when I read  from a friend and learned of his devotion, marriage and love for his wife. Let’s be real, and understand this is a true ongoing story of endurance, commitment, passion fo...

Reflections - Value Each Day!

Putting a value on time .. I’ve never been able to figure weekends out. I love Mondays. In fact give me everyday of the week and I love them. I love the days because there are so many opportunities and things  which are waiting for my discovery! Each day brings something new. For me it may be the same job status, the same car, the same family, the same 24 hours- what makes it different is me. The challenges never change, but my attitude does. I must change to go after my dreams, desires, to fulfill my purpose. I might look the same on the outside, but quite a lot is happening on the inside. I’m dreaming! There is a plan for something more to happen, then it happens unexpectedly and I’m ready! While waiting I’m there seeking out, creating, and finding each day different. Reflection: Enjoy each day Pause, wait, look around and smell the scent of the present you are in. I smell the salt in the sea wherever I am when I pause. That’s my moment of joy. Facing the sun, with t...

A Canopy of Grace

Photo Credits: unsplash.com/Thom Milkovic   Drop your canopy O Lord, let it fall on the earth. Let it pick up all the people who are suffering and hurt. Let your canopy be big enough, that everyone can fit, Lord please I beg you, allow everyone to see it. Drop your canopy on the ground O Lord, Because some people cannot look up high For these are the people who love you, and without it may surely die. Drop your canopy dear Lord, for the little children to see Especially, the ones who are impoverished and living in poverty Drop your biggest canopy dear God on the earth Let it be enough, like a berth awaiting vessels to sail A mooring prepared with glorious flair, just waiting For the people to get there. Drop it, just drop it on the earth Drop it because you care. Please let your canopy fall dear Lord, because not everyone can see Let the ones who need it most dear Lord, be covered by its safety. Drop your canopy my Lord and Savior, drop it on the...
