Mom Week - Day 2

Nailed my speech about mom yesterday!!!! One of the veteran members believes it could be a contest speech.  Everytime I prepare a speech I let go of something and God replaces it with his victory. Each speech I do is preparing me for my destiny.

Seeing mom's life from her perspective has really made me appreciate her more. Not just as a mom, but as a person. Life was not always gracious to her.  Her mother was an abusive alcoholic. Therefore her views of relationships were obscure.  Consequently mom struggled in her own ways. Yet she raised us by herself, making sacrifices to love us the best way she knew how. Her life’s passion was to work hard in not becoming the abusive woman her mother was. I believe in a lot of ways she achieved that goal.
