About a month or so ago we got some new neighbors and they are such strong people in the Lord. Everytime I have had the wonderful opportunity to talk to them the Lord radiates out of them in everything they do.... One day I really hope to be like them. Well anyways, my mom and Gorgia have become friends, and through this friendship Gorgia asked my mom to go to BSF with her this week. My understanding of BSF is a serious bible study with alot of women in the area. I am SO excited for this opportunity for my mom to go meet, and surround herself with women chasing after the Lord.
You have to understand my mom is literally the closest thing to super woman. I don't know how she does it. My mom has ALWAYS put me, my sister, and my dad before herself. She is always willing to serve her family and others before herself, and i see it as an incredible gift from God. and seriously she never complains. I have thrown so many fits, and alot of times taken what she does for me for granted. But she has the amazing ability to over look my mistakes and Love me anyways... some might say Hailey... this is what mothers are called to do. but i will safely say my mother goes above and beyond her call of duty. not only to show me how much she loves me but through her love she shows me everyday how much Christ loves me.
This weekend my mom and I, along with some great friends Pam and Austyn got to go on a girls weekend to Appalachain State University. (Hopefully i will be there next year fingers crossed!!) We left Friday after school and got to Boone, around 6 maybe... i dont really remember, but the whole reason we were down there was to go to ASU's open house on Saturday. Well saturday came and my mom and I got to spend some wonderful mom and daughter time that i will cherish in my heart forever. We walked around campus and she got to see why I have whole heartedly fallen in love with this wonderful place. She got to see that their technical Photography program is one of the best programs i can go into and come out with a job... which for you parents reading this you know how important that is. My mom and I got to see the Lord's plans for the next four years of my life fall out infront of our eyes. He got to assure us wheather I'm at App. State all four years or community college for a semester then a transfer to App that this is His plan and we are called to follow Him because his plans are perfect, and flawless.
I am so thankful for my mom and i am so thankful for how the Lord works through her. I am so glad that we got to have wonderful time together this weekend because our days are so few before im moving out and going to college. Its crazy. I am so excited to see how the Lord moves through us and how close we will get when this new chapter of life unfolds. I hope when i grow up ill be like my mom so eager to serve others and love them whole heartedly. i pray that i have her spunk and generosity. and sassyness. i hope we are all encouraged to be like our moms or our mom like figures in our lives because i believe the Lord uses them in HUGE ways to shape us to become strong women in the Lord.
Thank you mom for being such a wonderful mom to me. i dont know where i would be without you. seriously. i am so encouraged by you every single day and i cannot wait to see the huge things the Lord is going to do through you this year. i love you so incredibly much.
Sidenote: I got to see two wonderful strong sisters in Christ this weekend from work crew it was wonderful being able to see you and be with ya'll for such a short time, i am so encourage by you girls. i pray for everyone from work crew constantly i am so glad to be apart of this wonderful family. i hope to come visit each and everyone of you soon. i love you all so much.
Me, Lauren, and Becca (:
