SuperMom!

There have been and still are many influential people in my life. Throughout the past 15 years people have come alongside me, watching me grow up and nurturing me in my faith. Of all those individuals, one has done above and beyond what I could ask for. She has been alongside me since my birth. In fact, she gave birth to me! Let me introduce to you, my mom.

    My mom displays Christ-like character in her everyday actions. Her love and thoughtfulness reflects that of Christ Jesus. Her relationship with God is very evident in the way she lives every single day. That alone makes me look up to her as a positive role model. Another reason I admire her is her resemblance of the fruits of the Spirit: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. There’s not a day that goes by that my mom doesn’t display patience, self-control, or any of the other fruits. Trust me, when there are seven children living in your house, patience is a virtue.

My mom is incredibly selfless. Most of the many things she does in a day aren’t for her. They’re for me, my siblings, my dad, or someone in the community. She makes birthday and anniversary cards for everyone in our church. She makes then brings meals to those who are sick or have lost a loved one. She is always on the lookout for any possible way she can be a blessing to someone else. The rest of my family can be the first to testify to this. My mom has definitely taught me that even if you may not want to do something, do it anyway to bless someone.

Over the past 2 years, I’ve begun to appreciate my mom and all she does a lot more. I could not imagine living without her! She has set a great, but not perfect, example for me to live by when I become a mom someday. Her parenting skills are something I will take with me when I become a parent. I hope to be the best mom I can be just like mine!

She is simply extraordinary. My mom manages to be a social worker, a pastor’s wife, and run a household with seven children without her head completely exploding. I’m almost convinced that my mom is a superhero. She tries to keep this identity a secret, but we all know she’s nothing but ordinary. She is known to me as SuperMom. Why? She has super strength and super speed to accomplish a million things in one day. She has courage to do most things people wouldn’t do. She rescues my bad days making them good. She takes super good care of her children. My mom (A.K.A. SuperMom) does above and beyond what any mom should have to do. I can always count on her to be there when I need her. No need to fear! SuperMom is here!
