Ode to my mother

Today, June 9th, my mom turns 50 years old. I've always known that she is an incredible person, but I think becoming a mother is making me so much more in awe of the woman that she is. I am so thankful for the example that she has set since the first day of my life. Knowing that I will soon have that tiny little person watching my every word and action is at times overwhelming and so humbling. I am just appreciative that I have had 24 years to watch the way to love my husband, teach my children, and serve the Lord in the way that I serve people. I aspire to be the kind of woman that she is.
