Good evening. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. As we continue in the month of Mothers in May based on Exodus 21:14-21, 2nd Kings 4:18-23 and Luke 1:28-33 sometimes a Mother has to do more than is required. For instance due to the breakup of me and the Mother of my sons it placed not only on my Mom but my Grandma and sister in a position that they could not had been ready for. See the Mother of my sons began to have health issues and the person whom I was living with could not take in my children as well. So it was my Mother who came in as in a sense became their Mother. In looking at the world today there a many ways to Become a Mother.
We live in an age where more people under the age of 16 are in a situation where they have become a Mother. For some it is not as simple as having the child and still living at home. They have no idea or plan
and it places them in positions where they are starting behind so to speak. They are not prepared for the pitfalls of life. This is where you have those strong women who come in and Become a Mother.
In looking in the Word of God to see the Becoming of a Mother I go to Exodus 2:5. In this verse the daughter of Pharaoh saw something in the reeds and sent her maid to find out what is was. Becoming a
Mother is not just giving natural birth but seeking out to see that child or children that need that special person and turn what could be a dire situation into something better. The woman was Becoming a Mother.
In looking at another example of Becoming a Mother I go in the Word of God and to Exodus 2:6-7. In these verses when the daughter of Pharaoh saw the child she had feelings come over her and was ready to leap
into the unknown. The child' sister also made sure that her brother would be taken care of. These two women who did not even give birth to the child were in the process of Becoming a Mother.
In looking at the last example of Becoming a Mother I go the Word of God and Exodus 2:8-10. In this passage the daughter of Pharaoh takes charge and begins her plans on raising the child. Even though she did
not know it she was including the biological Mother of the child in helping her raise the child. See the Mother, the sister and the daughter of Pharaoh all played a part in Becoming a Mother.
In closing there are so many children out there that need the help of Mothers. In this teaching it spoke of how three women helped one Become a Mother. There are times when birth Mothers are going to need compassion and guidance to keep them from making bad choice after bad choice. With the help of a village of Mothers they could see the difference between a good man and one who wants to take advantage of them. There are times when the sisters and the Grandmas have to step in a help raise that child and put aside pride and embarrassment and put the needs of the child or children first. Then there are times that those who may not be able to give birth can step in Become that Mother for those whose parents have abandoned them or maybe even passed on. Mothers are a village that is a strong as any army. I have been raised by a village of Mothers and so have my children. Becoming a Mother is a beautiful thing. I give God all the glory and honor for this teaching as I did not have a title until I went to him in prayer. God is so awesome. Have a great week and please join me for my next blog that also is currently untitled. Have the best week ever.
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. This past month I was riding with my friend Angela Francis. On this particular day she had to go get her hair done and her friend Roxanne' shop. I had done this numerous times in the past so when I was getting ready to leave I told Angela I was going to the forest preserve to sit and wait as she got her hair done. At the forest preserve I would be able to do two things while I was there. I would be able to think of ideas for my blog, my radio show and my daily postings on Facebook. When you attempt to write you sometimes get writer's block and need to get to a different atmosphere ( Hmmm Writer's Block may be a blog soon LOL ). The other reason I wanted to go to the forest preserve is because it was hot that day and I needed some shade. So as I approached the forest preserve I put on my left turn signal and waited for traffic coming southbound to clear. After
Good morning and Happy Monday. Brand new week. Brand new attitude. The past is the past. The future is unlimited. Growing up we used to love to take pictures. Maybe not myself because I had a self confidence problem, but everywhere you went there was someone taking pictures. In grammar school we took pictures every week. In high school we took them every year. At church we took pictures. In the club we took pictures as a group to show we all went to a party. Most of the pictures we took were with a Polaroid camera which had great quality then. But if you wanted the best pictures you wanted the photographer to take your pictures. This was one of the coolest professions back then because all the ladies who wanted to be models or actresses had to go to the photographer to get that photo to take to the different agencies to show how they look. So in order to get the best quality the photographer had to go someplace where he could get the best results. It was his Dark Room. This is the na
Good morning and Happy Friday. The summer is now beginning and the weather is now reaching its highest temperatures. It has reached a high point of 90's so far in the Chicagoland area and it appears to be nothing in sight to relieve us of these conditions that are almost drought like. As the summer gets ready to start in earnest next week we anticipate the warmest temps of the year after a winter that saw a little snow but the hawk, ( that's what we call the wind in the CHI ) was in full effect. But the sun has been out daily and we need a little moisture in our lives. We expect things to get wet in order for us to not only cool off but to wash away some things and bring a freshness of new things in our lives. The hotness of the weather coincides with the hotness in our lives. We need things to cool off a little bit but need some things to come down so we can enjoy the things in our lives that is promised to us as Christians. We are faithful and trusting in his Word. So as we
