A Letter to my Mom (Thank You)

Dear Momma, our second Mother's Day has already passed and yesterday was just a typical Sunday for us, but feeling inspired and in the spur of the moment I decided to dedicate a special blog post to you just because I want everybody to know just how much I love you. Life with you has certainly been an adventure full of twists and turns. You have been there to celebrate my best moments and comfort me through the worst. I am as strong as I am because of the person you helped me become. I am so happy that God meant for us to be together on this journey. As time goes on, I am seeing more of you in me and I feel blessed because you've been the best mother anyone could ever ask for; you've worked hard to make sure I have had everything and more while instilling in me the importance of a good work ethic. Your unconditional love is not something that I know much about, as not many have loved me in that way but I am so thankful that you have given an example of what love should be: You love me as Jesus loves me, unconditionally with no end in sight. I love you. I love that you've been such a great example of faith and trust in the Lord for me. God knew I was going to need someone tough and as trusting in Him as you are. I often live by emotion; that is my one true weakness. 

We often laugh and joke about how we are the same age physically. I am so happy that I have someone in my life who can understand how I feel on those days that I just feel like quitting. When I'm frustrated with my body aching and the slightly more noticeable fatigue I've been experiencing lately, you are always right there to cheer me up with your sense of humor. You make me laugh. You give me joy. My heart swells with happiness every time I think of us. I wouldn't be anywhere in life without you. Thank you for giving me this life. Thank you for pushing me to go to college. Thank you for pushing me to become something. Thank you for supporting my writing career and for cheering me on; I'm not exactly sure where the Lord is taking me yet, but it is quite exciting. I'm glad you get to experience it with me. 

I have watched Mom struggle, scrimp, and save every penny. We have been through a lot, and I just want to say I'm so proud of her. Single mothers deserve so much more credit than what they receive; single moms are the true heroes and are truly inspiring. Mom, I know how much you dislike Mondays, so I hope I made you smile. I wouldn't trade our life for the world.

The Source of Everlasting Strength

"Life may try to weigh you down, but never let it wear you out." I love that the Lord placed that particular phrase on my heart while thinking about how certain circumstances in our lives can become truly overwhelming. I never enjoy shining a light on all that I face physically, but I will today because it fits well within the message.  Many of you may remember that I experienced COVID last September; as a result, I have dealt with lasting fatigue that carries no reasonable medical explanation, although I am absolutely certain that  living with both cerebral palsy and PCOS may play a significant role. It's now difficult to exert any amount of energy at all. Completing even the tiniest of tasks often feels the same as climbing Mount Everest. Some of those days it seems as if everything weighs me down and wears me out. (writing honestly) I know many who struggle with SO much more than I do. I know I'm never alone in that battle. Maybe you're experiencing one of thos...

Molly's Morning Thoughts: Are You Inviting Jesus In Or Shutting Him Out?

  A Word From Molly : I'm a little late on sharing a thought from yesterday morning but I couldn't go without giving it a place on the blog. I love that the Lord put this on my heart to write because it is SO true. I may turn this into a new blog segment, we shall see, but I hope this speaks to your heart as much as it did mine. Molly's Zone will celebrate its 10th birthday on Monday and I still feel so blessed to have the opportunity to write for Jesus. Molly's Zone has been a little quiet (life has been quite interesting lately) but I cannot wait to share more all throughout the month of September.  I woke up early this morning thinking about something that the Lord placed on my heart I LOVE podcasts & decided to try something new on Spotify the other day & listened to an episode about God's power in the midst of impossible situations and it got me wondering: How often are we guilty of attempting to take on a situation that is too much for us to handl...

For The Messy Heart

Does anyone else actually enjoy cleaning their house or is it just me? When my mother was still working, my absolute favorite chore was laundry. (It may have taken me seven business days to put away my clothes, but I lived for washing, drying, and folding everything.) Adulting is never easy and keeping the rooms of your house clean can be quite overwhelming---especially for those who have everything going on all at once. It does seem as if there's never enough time in the day, doesn't it? Have you ever wanted to take on a "deep cleaning" project only to find that you are completely lost on where to start first? Maybe you've said "oh, I'll do it another day" because you couldn't find the courage or the confidence to face it all head-on.  As the clutter continues to build up and around you, the mess only brings about stress, anxiety, and darkening depression. Living in the midst of a mess will never bring you joy.  This analogy brings us right into...
