Mother's Day

It has been an interesting journey these last few years in motherhood. Being a single mom has its unique challenges, but God has proven Himself more than faithful. Through this, my daughter and I have grown so much closer. We've been blessed with heart-to-heart fellowship as sisters in Christ, encouraging and admonishing one another to follow the Lord. We've cried many tears together but we've laughed a lot and experienced the joy of the Lord.

These are some mommy memories that I will treasure:

- "I've always loved you, but you're much nicer to be around as a Calvinist."

- Being elbowed sharply or smacked on the head for reverting to hand wringing, Arminian prayers.

- When she knows from the set of my eyebrows whether I am ruminating on theology or just worrying.

- "You smile differently now that you're a Calvinist. You even laugh differently."

- "I used to think that life was just about having a good Christian family and being happy. But now I know life is about Christ."

- And finally...

The only Mother's Day card ever with C.H. Spurgeon's picture on it. I love it!
