So, Thursday was ole girl’s birthday!

I could sum her up simply by saying mother of 6, grandmother of 10. That’s more than enough credit for any one person!

My mother; the outspoken voice to my shyness, the diva to my simplicity, the the crazy to my calm spirit, you all get it..

If you see me, you usually see her, she’s never too far away!

She’s super private so I have not mentioned her much on here but I’ve never been one to shy away from walking the line.. a little ..😁

I will say she deserves accolades for raising 6 kids mostly on her own. 🏆 She never gave up on us, provided tough love (*ahem all the time) and kept us in church so that we would know all about Jesus!

She is consistent in helping me carry out whatever crazy idea I have dreamed up with not enough time to carry it out, she collects my deliveries before my husband comes home and keeps me up to date on all the latest snacks especially my beloved Oreos!

But to take things a little deeper..

My mom has recently reunited with an old flame from when she was a teenager! (I might get in trouble for this y’all, but pray that she has a heart that is open to understanding the value in this story.🙃)

I’ve known her for awhile now (lol), and I am overprotective to the highest level and have never felt that any man thus far was worthy of her heart until I met this current Mister.

When I wrote about the “Broken Road” I specifically thought of her and the relationships she has had over the years and how I myself wish I could take back some of the time she spent in them and give it to this man on her behalf but I know every heartache, every setback, every lesson molded her and her heart to where it is now. And how can you truly appreciate having what you have been praying for if you have not experienced what you don’t want?

She might not even know that I have been specifically praying for him and her.

I prayed for a man that is God-fearing, a man that will not only value her but accept her children as his own, a man that will be accountable for not only her physical but also emotional well-being, a man that that will uplift her and keep her encouraged. A man who can assure her that he has her, relieving duress when it arises. Basically, a man that I feel confident turning her over to ( I know you believe that’s what parents do for children but I assure you, we the children do it too!)

Her new beau is all of that!😍

I tell y’all all the time you have to be specific! And God can promise you something or someone but it’s all in His timing not ours!

I even shared with my Godmother a few weeks back that I was content with her choice and she could not believe it, cause no-one and I mean no-one gets pass me..I am the gatekeeper for my whole family!

I want my mom, my aunties, my God-mom, my sisters, my cousins and friends to have real genuine love! Love that is all encompassing, that leads to everyone being the best version of themselves! Love that mirrors God’s love! 💞
