Target Mom… I wish

…Who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had and bought it.

Matthew 13:46

I need to remember this… Everyday that Jesus Christ sold himself, every bit of himself for me. He sold every bit of himself for you too..

Amazing Right!

I have a tenancy to forget the power of Jesus. I have been in the need for grace lately… You know what that means… Mama’s been Grumpy… As I toss and turn in bed, speed down the street. or cringe as I sit at the table. I keep asking the Lord to get me through one more day. I hate this, I want to be one of those sweet Target mama’s, who are always smiling! Not… A Wal- Mart Mom , who are always screaming at their kids as they run down the aisle like wild banjes! I want to look at my kids with love at the end of each day, not with relief that it is final time for bed. Even the sweetest child can push a mama’s buttons to the very brink. This is real life, if my kids did not bicker then they would never learn how to deal with conflict in their future relationships. Thank God I don’t have to be the referee when they get married! But in all seriousness I am thankful that at the end of each day I can go to the Lord and ask him for the grace to get me through what ever store I might go to that day!

Who is her Healer

I was sitting with my daughter the other day at yet one more doctor appointment reading the 1000th magazine this year… (I can’t complain about the magazine’s because I LOVE LOVE magazines!) Especially on this day, this magazine had a article for moms and daughters about body image… I felt like a knife had been stuck right in my heart. I am open with Minnie about her body, when we find clothes that fit her body I tell her things like, “this will be the perfect back for your wedding dress”. I know what you are thinking “she is nine Rach why would you even think about a wedding dress…” I always want Minnie to be confidant in the fact that she is Beautiful. The war her body has gone through has made her even more so. I want to give her tools to ease the heart ache that she will inevitably face someday. That is why I think of wedding dresses, prom dresses, bra shopping… and why we talk about it now. But when I came across this article I was scared I was full of fear that she was going to say hated her body. You know what she said…

Mommy I am in awe of my body. Who else has a body who goes through what mine does and it still works?

My mommy heart broke, it was singing and it was dancing all at one time… I can’t tell you the many emotions I felt.

Awe: An overwhelming feeling of reverence, admiration, fear, etc., produced by that which is grand, sublime, extremely powerful, or the like: in awe of God;

Awe is the perfect word for Minnie’s little body… reverence, for what it has done and will do. admiration for what is has endured. Fear of the unknown. Produced by the most Grand Creator who is extremely powerful. I am in Awe not only of my daughter but of our Lord for making someone so complex that she has rocked the medical world so that there is no question who is her Healer.

Sharing is caring

I don’t even think we realize that it is the smallest things like a Halloween costumes make such a humongous impact on our environment. In this picture Minnie is sporting the latest hand me down from the Curry girls. It does not get better than this (just look at her face) Her best gave it to her! Sharing is caring, not only for the earth but for each other…
6250 tons, in our landfills lets spread the word and our costumes….

Thanks to Stefanie Conner Huber for caring enough to share this with me today!
