I am so blessed to have a godly mother who loves me unconditionally. I was so excited to have a baby girl. Not for the reasons most women want to have girls. I am not what you would call girlie! I don't like the color pink or any pastel colors really. I don't do hair. Mine or anyone elses. I hardly wear dresses and I only like to shop when I have a particular thing I am looking for. And if I don't find it, than the day of shopping is worthless!
I wanted to have a girl because I wanted the relationship that I have with my mom with a daughter. I have always been close to my mom. I don't remember having a time in my teenage years where I was a teenage girl and was awful to my mom. She might remember it differently. Either way, we made it through the crazy teenage years. I consider my mom one of my closest friends. I can call her about anything and she is the one who calms me down. Like when my son falls off the bed when he was 8 months old and I felt like a terrible mom. She informed me that we fell off stuff all the time and turned out fine.
My mom (and dad - but we will have a post dedicated to him when we get close to Father's Day) raised me in a Christian household. We went to church every Sunday unless we were throwing up. At the time, I might have been put out by this. But when I went off to college I continued to get up on Sunday mornings and go to church. Because that is what my mom taught me was important. She taught Sunday school and helped with the youth group. She was a wonderful example a godly wife and mother.
She was supportive and drove me to soccer and softball practices all the time. She let me be who I was and did not force me to be a dancer or cheerleader. (not that there is anything wrong with dancers or cheerleaders- I was just more of a tomboy)
I love my mom and am very thankful that God blessed me with such an amazing lady to be my mom! I hope to be half the mom she is when I grow up. Love you Marsha Jean Wycoff. Happy Mother's Day early.
