Shanise,
That was beautiful. I am blessed that you shared that. You are grateful to your mother and you are praying for her. Wow. I am sure that blesses alot of other people, too. And you gave me the nudge I needed to write what I wanted to write on Mother's Day. Thank You.

Dear Mama,
I miss you so much. You were such an amazing woman, wife, and mother while you were here on Earth. It didn't matter if you were teaching special ed., playing tennis or basketball with the kids in youth group, teaching sunday school, bible study, youth group, teaching swimming lessons, taking food to the shut-ins, picking up prisoner's children for church, or taking poor children shopping, to doctor's appointments, or cutting their hair...you were always sharing Jesus! I am so blessed to have had a mother like you!!

It has been hard growing up without you. People think it gets easier as time goes on. It just gets different. I cried when my oldest daughter was born, because it made me feel a different connection with you. I didn't get to get through the rough teenage years and become your friend. I know we would have been such good friends!! You were so funny and you loved and believed in me so much!! It was hard after you died to read in your journal where you were praying for our relationship. I didn't even realize you had noticed things were getting rocky. I hate it that things had to end (for now) with things kindof tough between us.

This Mother's Day was hard, even though it's been almost 19 years. I got in my first car accident leaving church Wednesday night. I pulled out in front of someone I didn't see. Everyone was OK. The police and everyone probably thought I was nuts because I couldn't stop crying. I didn't tell them the real reason I was crying. That was how you died.

There have been times I have been mad at God. I even went through a rebellious stage after some other things happened. But, there is no peace outside of God. God has been working on me lately concerning true servanthood. Among others, one scripture that God showed me was Ezekiel 24:15-18. God told Ezekiel He was going to kill his wife and Ezekiel wasn't to mourn in public. Ezekiel obeyed. God wants us to be that kind of servent. No matter what we go through...we are servants. Yes, He loves us, Yes, He is our Father...but we all have a cross to pick up. What matters more, being an obedient servant, or our emotions?

I love you Mama, and I miss you. Happy Mother's Day. I look forward to seeing you again!!
Thank You God for being so patient with me and teaching me the things I need to know and do even when I don't realize the lessons I need to learn. I Love YOU!!!!

Thanks guys.....you have reminded me yet again how blessed i am to still have my mother with me.

Blessings on you both

John

i've done a lot of crap be4
goes to show u god will still use u no matter what^_^

Thank you John. Thank you Chris, that was quite a compliment. What does mk stand for? And thank you again for starting this Shanise, for being obedient. It's amazing how God uses what we learn through our screw-ups to minister to others.

Hey everybody...if you are able, give your mom a big hug for no reason!

May I also suggest that if things are a little tough between you and your mom (or Dad) right now that you pray for wisdom and then go to them and ask them what you can do to make the relationship better.

One thing God has taught me recently is that we can't be true servants of His, until we are true servants of our parents. No matter how old we are.

wow..that is so awesome and true. thank you for sharing that.

And you know how God likes to work! Once we are ready and obedient and our hearts are open and hungry for Him, He takes it a step further!

During this time that God has been working on me concerning true servanthood, He had me realize that even though my step-mom had done some things that were very hurtful to me, the way I responded was not with a servant's heart.

The Holy Spirit gave me a burning desire to go to my Daddy and step-mom and tell them that I know that it was God's will for them to marry, and that I was sorry for not always responding the way I should have. I told my step-mom that she is an amazing woman and I could have learned so much from her.

She and my dad cried and told me they were sorry, too.

From the moment I was sorry about not being the servant I should have been to them, I was set free from unforgiveness I had in other relationships, too, and I didn't even know all of that was there!

So let me encourage you, if you have any bitterness or resentment twards your parents, accept them for who they are, imperfect human beings, who cannot possibly meet all of your needs, and be a servant to them. Ask God to show you how to let it go. Every relationship in your life will prosper!

i love my mommy and my grama...
