Her Mother's Daughter

It's time Mom......
Time to watch her go. Time to witness all the tender loving care, molding and shaping in your baby girls life take root as she walks into the next chapter of her life.

Her name is Jordan, best known to her family as their JuJu. Jordan is the youngest of two girls whose smile, charm and personality is larger than life. And now her time has come to cast off the images of the little girl she once was and embrace the strong young lady her mom has so graciously raised her to be; to be all her daddy God has created her to be.

Growing up Jordan , like many in this world, was raised by a single mom. A mom that dug deep, loved with out conditions, and persevered through every obstacle life threw their way. While Jordan had and continues to have many who love and support her (sister, grandmother, aunt and uncle) and though we have never met, the common denominator she and I share......the daddy that was never there. For a little girl the absence of her daddy can be brutal on the heart and wreak havoc on our emotions. But where there is lack in life our daddy God provides 10 fold. Jordan's provision came in abundance with her mom and her sister.

A three cord strand not easily broken...........
Ecclesiastes 4:12
Though one may be empowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.

And He didn't stop there.
With the enormous love from her aunt, her uncle and her grandmother......
Her cup runneth over!!

Jordan steps into the world with the voices of her family cheering her on, the support of a mom that is bound to eternity and the provisions from her daddy God that will never return void. For all that he has promised in her life will come forth. The light she shines will never be dim by the noises of life, the joy she holds will spill into the life's of many and the love from within will reflect the strong roots planted by a mom that has walked this journey with her filled with dignity and strength.

She exits this chapter in her life and enters her new one with beauty and grace; pages filled of endless possibilities and a multitude of victories that can not be counted. So mom as she grabs the last of her things and walks to the door, look deep within your heart and know...........

She is her mother's daughter~

Her Son.....Our Saviour

This is a post I wrote 4 years ago (4/8/12) on "Shakin' the Foundation" blog site. I share it every Easter. I pray it ministers to your hearts. **************************************************************************** As Easter approaches, I have been thinking alot about Jesus' time here on earth. We have all heard of his birth,his teachings,his signs,wonders and miracles. For the most part, we have been taught his life story from those who had the honor of walking daily with him, from those who witnessed every aspect of his life here. However today I am seeing his life through a mother's eyes....... Mary's eyes..... As a mom myself, I can feel her joy when she looked into the eyes of her precious son. The miracle that she had been chosen to give birth to. That sweet precious baby boy that sometimes would fall down while playing, the one that cried out to her to pick him up..... Can you imagine looking into those beautiful eyes knowing wh

Sifting Before the Shifting

I have been hearing the Lord say " shift" for the last year. Shift in the atmosphere, shift in our nation, shift in the church, and a shift in me. When I think about the word shift, I see a grand swope of the hand of God moving all into a direction of peace and wholeness.I believe without a doubt He is doing so, however I never once entertained the though He'd have to do some sifting.... sifting in me. Sifting is a process, a two part process, when sifting wheat. First comes the threshing, the beating of the grain using a flail. Second part is the winnowing, throwing the mixture in the air allowing the wind to blow away the lighter chaffs and the heavier grains to fall back down for recovery. I take a closer look at this process and begin to meditate on how it applies to my life. The threshing is the process of removal; removing those things which will cause me to stumble.When God begins to remove, He does so with the intent of replacing; replacing with those

Getting My Hinds Feet

Several months ago I received a word from my daddy God telling me He was giving me hinds feet! I became so excited and thrilled not realizing what I was to go through to receive these promised hinds feet. In my mind, I saw it happening all at once.... No more would I struggle to get to the places I was called to go.... I would go leaping and bounding across all the boulders in my path.... There would no longer be traps and snares in my path.... I was climbing my mountain with my new hinds feet!!! But wait....... I now face more trials..... Heavier loads..... More stress..... More obstacles..... Loneliness that is unexplainable..... I look down and I do not see "hinds feet". I see crippled, hurting feet. ~sigh~ I do not understand.... I can't comprehend this journey.... I was promised hinds feet and I now appear to be stumbling my way over these now larger boulders in my path. I want my promised "hinds feet"......
