Mothers Day 2011

I love Mother's Day. For me, it's a day of reflection. I am so thankful God chose ME and entrusted ME to me the mother of these four children. As always, God made a perfect match. They are perfect for me and I am perfect for them.
I have Julia. She is now 19 . I have drug this poor girl through my life. The good , the bad and the ugly. At times, really ugly. But, we managed. God had his hand on us....buffered things. She turned out to be a beautiful young lady, responsible, hard working, college girl. Although, she has kept the prophecy of my grandmother who said she is me exactly and we are going to bump heads alot. And the wish of my mom who said " I hope she pays you back for everything you did to me as a teenager". Well, sorry mom, she is not quite as bad as I was (but close).
I have Darius. He is now 13. He has a heart for God since he was a small boy. He has growed up in our church. He is a young man of God and takes that role seriously. He spends his time reading, he on the youth leadership team at church, evangleizes kids at school, listens to christian music, volunteers in the community, and has big goals and dreams. What more could I ask for?
I have AJ. He is 8 now. He is my sidekick. He loves being with me and his whole family. He is the sweetest child I have ever seen. He has a giving spirit that amazes me. He has grown up in the church his whole life. He loves Jesus...and knows nothing else. Unlike His older sister, he is priveledged not to have been drug the the bad times...Aj has had quite a peaceful life so far.
And then .....there is Nicolas. Nicolas is 3 now. I'm not quite sure how he made it this far. I already had my hands full with 3 children...how I manage 4...I dont know. I think Nicolas came out, looked around at his surroundings , and's figured out he gonna have to be a survivor : ). I also, think hes a superhero. He's got super smarts and super strength and super size. I'm not sure if i know how to be the mom of a super hero? I'm sure there's some books out there...if not maybe I'll write one.

I do have wonderful children. I often get complimented on them. But, I can not take all the credit. I am a single mother...I am very limited to what I can physcially do in thier lives. When I had Nicolas (number 4) I claimed the promise from God that says he will be the father to the fatherless. I claimed that. I also pray for my children, I pray that God will cover all my shortcomings as a mother. So, sometimes saying I'm a single mother of four just ain't the whole truth. My children have the best father imaginable!
