Yesterday was a much needed day with my mom. This week has been crazy for both of us and I think we both craved seeing each other. Today I wanted to make sure I really listened my mom. Sometimes it's easy to tune out the people we hear on a regular basis but I (as a 28 year old) still love the sound of my mothers voice. It can instantly change my mood, call me to attention, comfort me. My Mom and I were not that close while I was growing up but as I entered college I finally realized how important she was to me and the women/wife I would become.
I could (maybe someday) write a book on the amazing things my mom has taught me in just the last 2 years alone. But today with the help of a good friend she taught me how important it is to hold God's hand. It's easy to pray and wait for God to answer your prayers but while waiting are you holding His hand? Or are you constantly doubting what he can do?
The beginning of this week was crappy for me - I know I was a joy to be around! By Wednesday I was over it and FINALLY said okay God it's your turn now. Boy, did he listen to that, he completely turned my week around. As my mom and I were sharing with each other the ups and downs of our week she said, "when I was worried I would just hold His hand." She then told me how her very good friend Bev (yes they have the same name) said "isn't his hand so soft?" I never thought of it that way before.
This morning at church as I was processing and planning for the upcoming week I asked God to remind me to hold his hand when I get overwhelmed. I know this week will be better because I will hold his hand.
