Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to all of the mothers out there, physical or spiritual.

Church this morning was so powerful. God blessed us with an abundantly sunny, beautifully gorgeous day. When I approached the front of the building, there were red carpets laid out leading into the church. Many men and young men from the church were dressed nicely and were handing out a single flower to each woman who entered. Each woman was escorted into the sanctuary by one of these men.

I felt so valued by these extravagant acts of love.

During worship, God's presence showed up so strongly. His tangible love was gushing out all over us. I was weeping under the revelation of how much God prizes and values women and mothers. His adoration, approval, and delight were overwhelming. I looked at these extravagant acts of human beings, and I realized that all of this incredible honor and romance originates within the heart of God. It took my breath away and knocked me to my knees.

I have honestly never felt so cherished and honored as a female. I have always had a hard time viewing femininity as beautiful and honorable because of the way that I've grown up, but today I saw a new side of God's heart.

I love being a woman. It's such a precious gift.
