yes, i am not afraid to admit it, i am a mama's boy. i have been since the day i was brought into this earth by her. i can't imagine where i would be without her today or what kind of man i would have turned in to without the guidance and direction that my mother provided.
at first i didn't want to be considered a "mama's boy." it just sounded like i was a big wimp and a push over. for the longest time i would get so irritated that people would tell me i look and act just like my mom. i didn't want to be like my mom. i wanted to be the tough, hard-nosed kid that was more like daddy than mom. as i've grown older, i have accepted the fact that God put my mother her for me and that being compared to her in anyway was a blessing and a very heralded complement. it's funny to think back in my stubborn days that mom was/and is always right. without her, i would be a complete mess. she is my best friend and always wanting what's best for me.
funny story in regards to my mom actually...we were sitting in church sunday (yes Mother's Day), and before the service i was looking around the sanctuary trying to pick out a girl that was my "type." as i told my mom what i was doing she just chuckled and said what exactly is your type?" of course i said i'm not really sure, but little did i know that 45 minutes later i would know. my pastor, Dr. David Eldridge preached a sermon on the christian woman and mother, and boy was he spot on. after the service my family was enjoying a wonderful lunch and i looked to my mom and said, i think i have found my "type." oh really she said and what would that be. i responded with a quick did you hear that sermon? david painted the perfect picture of her, and she is just like you (my mom). what a way for God to show me what type of girl i want to be with than the picture he painted with my mom that i have failed to realize recently.
kind-hearted, open, emotional, worrisome, beatiful, bold, unique, talented - these are just the few characteristics that describe mom and i can't wait for the day that i can call my wife the same things.
Psalm 127- the message preached on sunday
and dats her!!!!
