Today marks fifteen years since my mom past away. It was just a few days before my 10th birthday so I was super young. The impact she left in my life still shows up on a daily basis. She taught her kids to love God with all of our hearts, that He loves us no matter what mistakes we may make. He loves us regardless of situations and trials in life.
I remember a couple months before she died, we had to tell her goodbye...being the optimistic and hardheaded little girl I
am was, instead of saying goodbyes I told her she was going to be ok and get better! Her reply to me was simply "God is in control". Wow. I have taken those words with me, GOD is in control no matter the situation. He knows what lies ahead and he has already handled it. All I have to do is trust him. :) Thanks for the reminder mom!
As a mom myself, one of my biggest role models/ inspiration is MY mom. Even though she isn't around to give me advice, etc. how she raised me is just enough. From a very young age I was taught to love our Lord with all my little heart, thank him for all he has done for us and ask him for help when we need it. She would sing praises constantly even when she was really really sick. I can remember her sitting in the recliner having her quiet time every morning when I woke up...the list goes on and on and to think I just about 10 when she left us. That's the kind of mom I strive to be. I want my children to look back and remember how much I loved God and how kind I was. I also want my kiddos to love Him with all their hearts, I want them to meet their Grandma Tracy one day...I want to pass on my mom's legacy!
I am so thankful God chose Tracy Ann Miller to be my mom, and I am so thankful that God is in control! :)
