Okay, we should all know that it's Mother's Day tomorrow. This is a time when I reflect on my children and the children of friends.
I am completely blessed to have fabulous friends that are also amazing mothers. I also have two amazing mom's, Vonny and Nadine.
I've been made aware, recently, of comparing. I used to compare myself in a bad way to other mom's or families. Example:Wow those kids have so much of the Bible memorized, my kids don't have that much memorized.....or those kids have better manners than mine or..........you get the idea.
But recently, I've noticed that when I notice a difference, this pushes me to change something that may need to be changed. So, I guess it's not comparing as much as motivating.
All of that to say, this post is dedicated to all the Mama's I know who motivate me!
My first Mom, Vonny~raising 5 kids on a shoe-string budget while smiling.
My second Mom, Nadine~raising the amazing, powerful man that I married.
Stephanie~Transitioning to the stay-at-home-mom status and dreaming BIG.
Anna~Smiling, crying and praising through the worst year of her life....and training her children to do the same. Lisa is proud of you.
Allison~Raising and training her princesses while 95% of the time feeling yucky. You Rock!
Heather~Breaking through this terrible year with the prize of a beautiful, strong Son that your Mom is proud of. She is proud of you.
Kristi~Mother of two Singles and Triplets......God bless you. Enough said!
Brigit~Mother, wife to my brother and homeschooler to SIX! God bless you. Again, enough said!
Betina~Surviving this past year.
Tina~Soooo cute and funny! Thanks for making me laugh!
And to the rest of my Sisters and Sisters in Christ~Thank you for all the support and prayers. I love you all!
There would be no way I could be who I am without all of you. You have shaped me and I have, in turn, shaped my Children. And my Children (as well as yours) WILL change this world. So, through encouraging and supporting me, you have changed the future and thus the world.
Hats off to you all!

That was a great honoring post to all the moms out there. It is my great joy to see you all grow into the women God wants you to be! Hallelujah, Praise His Name! Happy Mother's Day! Love you, Mom : )
Thank-you, Katy, for your kind words.
Just so you know, everytime (and I mean everytime) I see you with your kids, I think how well behaved they are and I am continually bragging on you to others...so hats off to YOU!
It's true.. Allison does brag on you and your kids all the time. Thanks for the mention..although I can't imagine what I've done..we've only "known" each other a short time. =) Happy late mothers day.
Kristi......the blog about Super Mom should be proof enough! You are amazing!
Love, Katy
Well...that was my funniest blog ever.
