we're all mothers.

me and my mom started off our mother's day by doing a workout.

holla.  that's so me and my mom!

after all these years, she's still got it :)

today, for mothers day, i made two new recipes
{both are tim tebow's family favorites!}

one was pizza pie, and the other was a rice crispy ice cream pie.

they were both really good, but there is perfecting to do.

my grandparents also called today wondering if their support letter got lost in the mail.

uh, i didn't send one.  talk about awkward.

i was just trying to make sure they didn't feel obligated to give because they do such a good job making sure they do things evenly for the grand kids.

but they explained that this was different because i had earned through hard work and dedication the ability to be able to do medical missions.

it was great to hear i have their support.

the sermon today was about all women being mothers.

and from the moment we're born we're nurturing and just know how to be compassionate.

it was so encouraging to hear. 

we talked about leaving a legacy and being like hannah in 1 samuel.

i had recently studied her in a bible study so it was great to go back to the story.

she was barren for a while and promised God that if she was given a child she would give her child to the Lord. 

there were times when she was in the temple literally weeping out of pain.

and i feel just so connected with her because i have wept before over the fact i don't have kids.

i know i still have a lot of time, but it is such a desire of my heart. 

and if it had been up to me, i would be a mom by now.

well hannah eventually conceives with samuel and God is faithful--on His time.

and i know that while i think i know best, i know i don't.

and His timing will be so much more perfect than anything i could imagine!

i just need to wait.

i can't wait for the day i get to personally celebrate Mother's day, but am so thankful for all the people {along with my mom} that have been 'moms' to me or shown me great examples of how to be a Biblical mom.  

i am beyond blessed.
