Reforming Motherhood

May. 13, 2006 - One of my favorite mothers

It was a summer day and we were at a picnic.  I walked into the group not knowing a soul.  I was very anxious.  I was in sixth grade and this was a middle school youth group function.  Of course I was nervous.  She walked right up to me, introduced herself and instantly made me feel comfortable.  Stacy has been my very best friend since that day many, many years ago. 

 

Stacy is one of the most giving people I know.  Not only did she pass the best notes in high school, but even at this young age she was always willing to encourage, pray for and share scripture with me.

 

We lived together in college and I benefited from her lending of clothes and her sisterly love.  Stacy was who I ran to when my boyfriend (whom I’d thought I would marry) broke up with me and she was by my side the day I married the man God lovingly had in mind.

 

Stacy is the truest bosom friend anyone could have and it is the same qualities that I have benefited from in being her friend that make her an excellent mom.

 

Stacy is a cheerleader to her kids like no one I’ve ever seen.  She encourages constantly.  She serves and gives to her family without ceasing.  She plays and laughs hard.  She disciplines and trains but most important of all she constantly seeks the Lord and His Word for wisdom and guidance as she mothers.

 

I want to say happy mother’s day to one of the best mothers I know.  It has been a long time, we’ve been through a lot and I can definitely say I know the character of Stacy.  It is with full conviction that I submit that Stacy is a Proverbs 31 woman!

 

Proverbs 31:30 “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.”

 

 

P.S. She is also really good at multitasking!

What a testimony of a Godly woman! Amy described you in such an awsome way Stacy. I am sure she would say the same of you Amy. With regard to what Stacy posted on my blog, even though we arn't in the same town or state for that matter we can be neighbors right here - its an honor to be in the company of women on a mission to serve the Lord with all their heart, soul and mind.
Happy Mothers Day to both of you!

Thank you, dear friend of mine. What a surprise to check our blog today and read THIS. Goodness! Thank you so much for blessing me and honoring me not only as your friend but as a mommy to my children.
I love you and am overjoyed we get to be mothers alongside one another. You are one of the best mamas I know, and you are continually encouraging me and spurring me on towards being a better mother- thank you for all you are!
I cherish you, Amy

Well said, Amy. Thanks for the kind, true words about my wonderful wife. I am truly blessed by her in my life, and I think anyone who knows her would say the same.
