Sweet GM

Today would've been my sweet Mamaw's 72nd birthday. I could write about her all day. It still takes my breath away to think she's not with us anymore. I always called her Mamaw but when my boys came along we started calling her Great Mamaw then just GM for short. I wanted to share a few of my favorite pics from the last trip we had out west with her before she got sick. I'm so grateful for all the time I was blessed with her. I learned so many lessons from her while she with us but I seem to maybe have learned even more from her after she's been gone. Or maybe I'm just now applying them. Either way her spirit inspires me every day.

One of my fav pics of all time in her newly

remodeled, beautiful, California backyard.

Traveling solo cross country with a 3 year

old and 5 month old was SO worth it.

So grateful for this trip...and looking forward to

seeing her again one day!

Proverbs 31:10-31 (GWT)

10 “Who can find a wife with a strong character? She is worth far more than jewels.11 Her husband trusts her with all his heart, and he does not lack anything good. 12 She helps him and never harms him all the days of her life. 13 “She seeks out wool and linen with care and works with willing hands. 14 She is like merchant ships. She brings her food from far away. 15 She wakes up while it is still dark and gives food to her family and portions of food to her female slaves. 16 “She picks out a field and buys it. She plants a vineyard from the profits she has earned. 17 She puts on strength like a belt and goes to work with energy. 18 She sees that she is making a good profit. Her lamp burns late at night. 19 “She puts her hands on the distaff, and her fingers hold a spindle. 20 She opens her hands to oppressed people and stretches them out to needy people. 21 She does not fear for her family when it snows because her whole family has a double layer of clothing. 22 She makes quilts for herself. Her clothes are made of linen and purple cloth. 23 “Her husband is known at the city gates when he sits with the leaders of the land. 24 “She makes linen garments and sells them and delivers belts to the merchants. 25 She dresses with strength and nobility, and she smiles at the future. 26 “She speaks with wisdom, and on her tongue there is tender instruction. 27 She keeps a close eye on the conduct of her family, and she does not eat the bread of idleness. 28 Her children and her husband stand up and bless her. In addition, he sings her praises, by saying, 29 ‘Many women have done noble work, but you have surpassed them all!’ 30 “Charm is deceptive, and beauty evaporates, but a woman who has the fear of the Lord should be praised. 31 Reward her for what she has done, and let her achievements praise her at the city gates.”
