Hello Angels, I hope all you all have been well. This week is Mother’s Day weekend. I’ve always gotten sad leading up to Mother’s day not because my mom is no longer here but because of the void that I felt. This week's blog is about healing, and understanding what God has for you and why you have to go through certain things for growth. I was adopted at two years old. I always wanted to know who my birth mom was. I thought it would make me complete. I wanted to feel the love of the woman who gave birth to me, the one who would love me without conditions.
God gave me the desires of my heart November of 2005 when I meant my birth mother. Although life got in the way. She gave the ultimate sacrifice of giving up her child. I was angry and had so many feelings. When I gave it over to God I realized I wouldn't be half the woman nor mother I am today if it hadn't been for the strong family of women that were around me.
I lived with my aunt for a while in my teenage years. She taught me that being a tall woman was a beautiful thing. She was tall, she dressed nice, I would watch her do skin care every night. My love affair with skincare began. Ambi was the business!
My grandmother was my secret keeper. No matter what I did she didn’t love me any less. She taught me how to pray, how to cover myself, how to cover my kids and take care of my house. No matter what state I was living in she talked me through recipes over the phone. She would always tell me I could do anything, even when I didn't believe in myself. The last conversation I had with my grandmother she told me to take care of these babies. I promised her I would. I have been doing just that.
In my early adulthood I had older cousins that stood in the gap as a mother figure for me also. I took all those experiences into me being a mother. It truly takes a village to raise kids. I Thank God everyday because I truly would not be the woman, mother, and wife I am today without the village of mothers I have in my life. God has always provided a mother figure for me whenever I felt lost or abandoned or needed a extra boost. In my everyday life I make sure to pay it forward in the same way. So on this Mother's Day make sure to show your mother and the mothers in your village just how much they mean to you.
Until next week I will leave you with these final words,
