Now I know where I get it from...

For those of you who know me...I'm a pretty intense person. For those of you who do not know me...now you know.

I am not one to try to hide my emotions. One way that I express my emotion is through prayer. And this morning I realized where I get it from. My mother.

This morning as I was setting up my desk, my chair fell directly on top of my foot. Now, remember I have plans to dance this weeked. A hurt foot is not a comforting thing. Yea, I was very upset. VERY. The last time I was scheduled to dance (it was the same occasion), I cut a hole on the bottom of my foot and had to have stitches. I was not able to dance that weekend.

My foot started to swell, with a huge golf ball size knot and purple bruising. I hurt to walk on it. At this time, I was getting pretty emotional. I did not want to miss out on this opportunity again! I called my mom to pray with me, I didn't want to lose it over a small bruise. Thank God for accountability partners...thank God for mothers!

As we were praying, my mom started getting intense. (Now pay attention, let me know if this sounds familiar) She starts quoting scripture and demanding healing and peace over me. She begins to cry (I'm already crying at this point) and finishes her prayer. Yea, this is me through and through.

I am so honored to be like my mom. If any of you have had the oportunity to meet her or spend a few minutes with her, you know. She is an amazing woman of God, full of passion, purpose and overflowing love for her family. She is the best example I could ever have. I am so thankful.

I love you Mom!
