See you soon Momma!

On Wednesday morning I received a call to get to the hospital because my mother had been in a car accident. That is all I knew. I cried and prayed all the way. When I was almost to the hospital these words came rushing to my heart. "God will take care of you, through every day, ore all the way. He will take care of you. God will take care of you." When I arrived and saw my Preacher, he told me that she didn't make it. I felt like my whole world had just crumbled. My preacher's wife was right there to comfort and just hold me just like my momma would do whenever I was hurting. I thank God for her. It is hard. I NEVER thought I would be on the other side of the receiving line this early in life. My dear mother was such an example to me of sacrificial giving of herself. It was because of her that I was able to do many things for others, because she kept my girls and did things to help me.

She was always doing things in the background to help. She even scraped the tile floor in the fellowship building nursery and waxed it. It took several days process, on her hands and knees, and she used her days off to do it. She really loved keeping the nursery for bus church. It really showed in how she made sure it was cleaned up and safe.

The hardest thing is when I want to call her and tell her something that has happened with the girls. I always just picked up the phone and called her. Last night we had Christmas with the church staff. I was so excited that Naomi got something she has been wanting for several months and I had forgotten about it. I picked up the phone to call Mom and realized I couldn't. It hurt all over again.

I will miss her so much but I know that I will see her again; I hope that it is really soon. It makes heaven so much more real.

Thank you all for the prayers and the friendship through this time.
