That awkward moment when...you realize your starting to sound like your Mother.
Okay, so when you were a little girl even though you love your Mom to death you most likely said "I will NEVER say that (or do that) when I'm older!" Well, as a 20-something woman you start growing up a little (just a little) and things start coming out of your mouth that you just don't know WHERE in the world they came from. Lately, I have had some of those moments. For example, in the classroom: "When I was your age....." Yeah, I know. What, am I 80? or (in my weaker moments of classroom management...) "I'm going to count to three...1...2..." I'm now realizing that you NEVER have to get to 3. Who knew? And really, what DOES come after 3? I don't even know. Here's another "What part of no don't you understand?" Yeah, I believe that's actually come out of my mouth. For real? Don't judge, you've thought it too. When guests are coming over I want the house to be spotless and perfectly put together...something I never understood as a kid. "But Mom, they're our friends, they don't care what the house looks like!" When Mom would go through her healthy eating kicks, I would think "THERE IS NOTHING TO EAT IN THIS PANTRY!" and now I try to eat as healthy as I can and keep the fridge/pantry stocked with healthy choices.
When you're young you think your Mom is crazy for saying some of the things she says or doing some of the things she does. As we get older, we start to realize there was a method to her madness and the apple doesn't fall as far as you thought it did.
My Mom is an amazing woman, she is a strong and hard-working woman who loves with her whole heart and cares deeply. She was a single mother who did everything in her power, through prayer, to help me become the woman I am today. Yes, I was stubborn and thought I knew it all but now that I've grown up a bit I can now appreciate my wonderful Mother for who she is and all that she sacrificed for me. She was diagnosed with a blood disease, similar to leukemia, 9 years ago. I remember after different doctor appointments and what they thought she had being so scared that I'd lose my mom. She has taken Chemo orally for the past 9 years and has gone to the cancer center every month for blood transfusions and gets her platelets checked regularly. During this time, I have taken for granted what a blessing the Lord has provided by her feeling great and still staying active and busy. Her reports have been good to very good for the past few years and last week she received a bad report with very high platelet count and high liver enzymes. Not only did they diagnose her 9 years ago, people who have been diagnosed with her same disease have only lived for 10 years. So, knowing this, those old feelings have returned. I know that God is good and that if He can conquer death that any disease can be miraculously healed. I just ask you to please pray for my Mom and her health. She goes back on the 23rd for another check up and I just pray that her platelet count and enzymes are back to normal. Through Christ, anything is possible!!!
Love you Momma!!! :)
