So happy! So blessed!
Today was my day with my son…and we FINALLY got to hang out! AND it was a blessing! I took him shopping…got him sooooo many clothes. He looked so handsome… (proud mommy moment:)
At the first check out we went to, I sent him away…so he couldn’t see how much I was spending on him. And I started to explain to the clerk how, when he was little…I raised him alone, and never had money to just take him out and buy him clothes. And how much it meant to me to do that for him…and I started crying…it choked me up. The man behind the counter walked around and handed me the bag…and gave me a big ol’ hug. When my son saw me…he was like…”Mom, is that a happy cry?” And I said…”yes son…I am just so happy I can bless you.”
So happy:)
We just shopped and shopped. Everything we wanted seemed to be on sale! We laughed and had a blast…just like old times. I was so afraid it would never be the same…but it will…and it is. The love we share can never be taken away.
At the mall, I ran into an old classmate, from 5th grade:) Well, he is also a friend from a church I used to go to. He is very prophetic, (hears from God)…and tells people what he hears…to encourage them. He told me about a ministry that is helping children. Some of you may know…God has spoken to me about feeding, clothing, and housing orphans all over the world…but I am not sure. So he starts telling me about this ministry that is blessing children. My ears perk up. He suggests that I give to them. I asked…is that from you, or God? He didn’t say…
My son and I left, and he found us again later upstairs…he was looking for me, and started giving me scriptures that I needed to read about how God blesses you, if you bless the poor. So…I think it was from God. This gentleman has spoken to me prophetically before…and it came true…so I trust him. I will definitely take it to the Lord though and see what He says!
Then later we went to my sister’s…and a friend of hers came by. We started praying…and she started giving me a word too…
Wow…
She didn’t even know me…but God did. She said so much…so much to encourage me…more than I could write here. But the part I want to share with you is…she said that I God gave me a body, soul, mind and spirit…and 3 of those are in order, and the forth one is coming. Not to worry, that God will do it for me. That it is coming…and to trust that God will do it for me! Not to wear myself out trying to get my body in shape…but to trust God. WOW!!! Good word huh?
I know a lot of you think there is too much “religious” stuff on here…but I have to tell you…Jesus is Lord over all…and He will do it. For me, for you. He loves us all so much…and this is not a hard thing for Him. He is the Healer! Deliverer! Sanctifier! I have decided He is my new Personal Trainer!!!! and Nurtrionist!!! My Doctor specializing in LOVING Me!
Tomorrow I am taking my son and his fiance to the Butterfly House…taking my camera! Looking forward to it!
Div a, I am crying with tears of joy for you. After watching Biggest Loser tonite and really being pissed off and disheartened by Vicki and her hub; it feels good to read your blog about you and your son. Our children are precious to us. God commissions each of us as parents to do right by our children and love them the way He loves us. I say, your shopping trip to your son was more than just spending money. It was a show of love from you, a time of quality and making sweet memories.
Thank you sweet sister! It was a blessed day for sure! God is good!
I am glad you had such a joyful day with your son.
I am so jealous of you going to the Butterfly House again. Wish I was going!
Big HUGS!
As I sit here with “happy tears” in my eyes all I can think of is THANK YOU! My son is going threw a lot right now and he is only 8 (in all day therapy to learn to deal with anxiety disorder before he can return to school). I hope and pray I will have a relationship like this with him in the later years. You are right our God is an awesome God!
your blog is beautiful. I love the graphics. Know that if God puts something in your heart He will complete it in His time. You heard the Word you would be helping children in need, then this prophet comes to you and asks for help with children. Sister your door is opening. Many people feel they need to have the voice of God confirm something to them but He uses people also to confirm what he has placed in your heart. Continue to look for open doors. It was so sweet to hear about your shopping spree with your son what a great testimony of how great God truely is.
Ok, I already have my makeup done and you put tears in my eyes. You can really feel the love shining through..for both your son…& God. What a beautiful thing to wake up to this morning! Love Debbie
There isn’t a soul in the world that doesn’t need the Lord in thier life.
Also, some of us need to be knocked over the head to get the message. Take the hint, and move on it, and the Lord will do the rest.
God Bless–Mary
First of all, I’m glad you got to have that moment with your son. I’m doing my best, with a husband to raise my 3 little ones, and we live on a pretty tight budget because of it. Secondly, the bible says that we are to spread the word of Christ, and if in the process someone gets offended, that’s just how it goes. I hope that their hearts, mind, body, and spirit’s are able to open up to God’s love so that they will be able to enjoy the fruits of heaven as well.
This is a very touching and sweet blog. I’m glad you had time to spend with your son. Best of luck to you.
I’m so glad you and your son are having such a wonderful visit!
So what if some people here don’t like hearing about religion or Jesus…it’s all about weightloss and what helps us get the job done and for some of us, Jesus helps get the job done. 
I love the cute pics you have here!
Glad you are having such a good time!
I figure if people don’t like my referneces to God they can just not read it! We need to be honest in our blogs about what is going on, so keep it up, I learn from you! Hugs!
I’m happy for you Chrisie. ooxx
