Happy Mother's Day!

May 10, 2014

If you have children, if you have a husband, if you have furbabies; Happy Mother's Day!  Tomorrow I plan to go to church for the first time in a long time.  I live by faith but I am ashamed to admit that I was so ashamed of all the weight I'd gained that I stopped even going to church.  God doesn't care how big I was/am but after my weight being up & down even though God loves me as I am I didn't want to deal with all the stares & whispers.  Yeah, even church ladies unfortunately do that.  It is my sin that I stopped going to church but I did have a lot of health problems that made me not feel good as well; hysterectomy with complications, thyroid issues, kidney issues -all of which required hospital stays, but each and every time our preacher & close church friends were there; so it's my sin for not going back until now.  I can finally fit back in some of my older dresses now as I had a try on session yesterday morning, but there are several still that I can't wait to be able to wear again; there are also some that are too large & are being sent to the foundry-a thrift shop ran by a christian group that supports and cares for recovering drug addicts.  I will also be visiting my Mom & my Mom-in-Law tomorrow.  Last year I spent Mother's day at Children's hospital with my daughter as she had to have emergency surgery to remove her appendix, this year I'm thankful & praising God that my daughter is healthy & I'm feeling better than I've felt in years due to my prayers for being able to get surgery being answered.  This is a blessed & great year.  Happy Mother's day to everyone.
