May: The Middle, Mama and Memories
May is here!! Yes, I am a little late and it is almost the 10th of the month but May is still a wonderful month to me. Why? It’s my birthday on the 29th, so many people graduate and start new chapters in their life, it’s Mother’s Day and Memorial Day. But first, it’s the middle month of the second quarter of the year. Never thought of that did you? God did and reminded me that the middle or the half way or the in between of life can be just as important as how you start and how you finish. The middle will help you get to the finish. It’s that difficult middle that pushes you and produces fortitude and tenacity. It’s the middle that determines whether you keep going or just stop altogether. Why? The middle is where the challenges start, the obstacles appear and the first signs of discouragement arise. Some of you, it happened before you even started but for others, you had no sign that there would be a problem. You notice that there is a common phrase, “Girl, I’m in the middle of a storm or in the middle of a mess.” The middle. But take courage that no matter what is going on, in the middle of a storm, mess, test or blessing, God is with you. That’s enough right there to keep going knowing that God is with you. Enjoy the rest of the month no matter when you read this. Because the middle is where God shows up and shows out for His children. Keep going.
Whether you have your mama still with you or she is resting in your heart and mind, celebrate Mother’s Day! Even with tears in your eyes, remember the good stuff, laugh out loud, repeat some of her sayings and walk proud knowing that she taught you well. My mother is still alive, I call her everyday and seek to honor and celebrate her by the life that I live each and every day. Happy Mother’s Day!
Memorial Day is always special because we are primarily remembering those who fought in wars, battles and skirmishes for our country. This Memorial Day remember all of the wars, battles and skirmishes you survived whether in military service or the fights for your family, sanity and life. Remember always to be thankful for life, liberty and the Lord!
