Happy Mother's Day!
A year ago we were almost 9 weeks along and we announced the best little secret. Our family of two was going to be three in December. We were at Travis and Kelly's house and we told my side of the family. Then we went over to David's parents house and gave his mom a card with the ultrasound picture in it.

While I was a mommy last mother's day I don't think I had "earned by stripes" yet. David got me a card and got me a baby carriage pandora bead. But this mother's day I do deserve it. I have gave everything to my daughter for the last 5 months and I will until I die. I have spent many sleepless nights and long days singing, rocking, walking, cuddling and overall attending to the needs of precious gift from God. This is my calling from God. In college my residents would call me, "momma". I took care of them and took on the "momma" role.

Being a full time Mommy is not for the faint of heart. You get criticized. You get looked down upon. You have days when you want to scream. But I am so thankful for God's provision and His perfect will. Because I know this is my calling. Please continue to lift me up in prayers that I stay in His will.
This mother's day I also have a thankful heart. I am so thankful for my mother and my mother in law. They are great examples of Godly women and together have raised 4 successful Christian children. I am so glad God saw fit for me to be a part of the Finkbeiner family. The Bible gives us a perfect example through Ruth and Naomi.
"But
Ruth replied, “Don’t urge me to leave you or
to turn back from you. Where you go I will go, and
where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people and
your God my God. 17 Where you die
I will die, and there I will be buried. May the Lord deal with me, be it ever so
severely, if
even death separates you and me.” Ruth 1:16-17
I am also thankful for all the other mothers in my life. Thankful for my aunties who have been like mothers. Thankful for my sister in law, Kelly, she is such a good mommy to my niece and nephew. Thankful for the moms on facebook who set good examples. Thankful for Michelle Duggar and her example of a Godly mother and wife. Thankful for all the mothers in the Bible. And thankful for my mommy friends. You are all such a blessing to me.
All Praise to God!

with the princes of his people.
9 He settles the childless woman in her home
as a happy mother of children.
