Making My Day

My mom and I have this special "something" not a lot of mother-daughter relationships have. Its a norm to be talking on the phone with her for 1 to 2 hours. Every time I have news, whether good or bad, mind-boggling decisions or spiritual doctrine I can't figure, she would be the first one on my mind I wanna share them with. I am humbled that God has blessed me with a mom like that. 

Another hour has passed

Wow, did we actually talk that long

But for what its worth

It is worth every bit of it

I tell her the exciting things in my new church

My skepticism erased by the assurance of her faith

That I'm in the right church at the right time

We both wonder why I wasted a year

But she confirms that it's all in God's plan

Because 1 year of hopping, searching and looking

Will just bring more evidence and confirmation

To the place I'm attending right now 

She tells me the new things God's doing in our home church

I stand amaze at His wonders

She's gonna be a great vessel

Strongly used by God

Sometimes I feel sad and cheated 

That my family is doing "everything" and all things

Because our church is fairly small

In every ministry, you name it

I ask her whether its heavy

(especially with me gone, but then I'm reminded no ones indispensable)

She says its not

So I believe she's doing it right for God

For she's so far not burnt out

We both discussed about my sister's future

What she is doing

And where she will study

(proud of her btw, fasting 12 hours a day, seeking God's will)

My mom said that sometimes she wonder

As she sees my sis and I struggle

In areas like finance for our studies

Unlike others who can study whatever they want

Wherever they want

My sis and I have to think through thoroughly

Cos funds are just not on our side

But when she sees my sister fasting from 7 to 7 everyday

She thanks God for the situation we're placed in

That this kinda stuff forces us to seek God out

And ask for His guidance and provision

And naturally we're building on character in godly stature

And she has to worry no more

For she would rather me and my sis

Be built upon the will of God 

Then be spoiled and spoon-fed

That as we go through what seems like "hardship"

We're forced to be attuned to God

And seek His will for our lives

Cos we God ALL things are possible

And just trust that His plans for us are always GOOD

We ended our conversation praying for each other

I cherish the moments we do

And she said every time I call her I make her day

And that goes the other way round too

Cos every time I talk to her I feel lifted

Thanks mom

For Making My Day
