My Life as a COMMA!

I can’t believe it! 14 years ago today….God looked down on me and smiled….and sent the most beautiful rainbow I’ve ever seen! His name is Bryce…..and after the storms of life had beat me down and left me feeling lifeless and without the hope of being a mom on this earth again……the sun decided to shine on me when Bryce’s dad, Bryan, came into my life and then the rainbow came shortly after!!

That is truly how I feel…….He was then…and always will be my rainbow. He is my promise from God that life does go on and there truly is always more!

I have loved getting to be his mom. What a blessing he has been! The prophetic words of my doctor…..when, as he was being delivered by c-section said, “Oh my God…it’s a football player….to now…..watching this big, strong boy as one of the starters of the 8th grade football team.

But nothing……nothing….is better than just sitting and talking with him….and seeing his heart. That boy has a huge heart. Yes, we’ve gone through some ups and downs…but his heart is held by Jesus! And Bryce knows this beyond a shadow of a doubt. And talking with him and watching him….brings me such joy! It’s as if God just keeps smiling at me and saying…., “See…..there was more….so much more that you couldn’t even believe!”.

One of my favorite scriptures is Habakkuk 1:5! It says….”Look around among the nations and see! And be astonished! Astounded! For I am putting into effect a work in your days that you would not believe it if it were told you.” (Amp. Version)

If someone had told me over 16 years ago I’d be happy…gloriously happy…and celebrating the 14th Birthday of my wonderful son……I wouldn’t have believed it. To be quite honest with you…I don’t think I would have even dreamed it. I would have been way too afraid.

But God….He KNOWS! He knew then I had more to come…more to live for….more to do….more lives to change. I just wasn’t ready to hear it! I’m so thankful I stuck around to see it and experience what He had in store!

There is nothing more important to me…..than my family! They are my “WHY”!!! They are my gifts from God.

So today I celebrate my son! Bryce……you have greatness in you! I see God at work in you and through you…..and although we don’t know what is around the corner and waiting for you…I know that God has blessings in abundance planned for your life! Thank you for blessing me…..for loving me through…..and letting me be your mom.

I couldn’t be prouder!

All my love, forever and always! ~mom
