My Mother’s Day talk (tl;dr scriptural mothers weren’t perfect and today’s moms aren’t either, but they can do great things)
That was nice, wasn't it, the kids singing. The men are also scheduled to sing today, and while "Love at Home" is a fine choice, I wonder if some moms might appreciate if we'd chosen hymn #224 "I have work enough to do".
I'm convinced that God has a sense of humor. Like having me speak on Mother's Day (if you don't know, my mom is the organist...she's sitting right back there...so noooo pressure).
I don't want anyone to feel bad as I talk about my wonderful mother, so was thinking I should switch things up a bit and list ways my family isn't perfect and some of mom's less-than-angelic moments. Like which “choice” word she uses when she's really upset. Or that we grew up thinking wooden spoons were kid-sized paddles and only later learned they're a kitchen utensil. And the time we left our youngest sister, who was about 5, at the grocery store and none of us noticed. She had to call us. Another sister, who would have been 14, answered. The phone conversation went something like this:
Hello, this is Daphne
Hi, it's Katrina
Katrina, I've got it
It's me, Katrina
Get off the phone, Katrina, I've got it
No, it's Katrina, your sister
Katrina, hang up! I'm trying to talk to somebody,
(obviously this was pre-cell phone days)
Of course we had to go back to the store and get her, but my mom was too embarrassed to go in and become the posterchild of a "bad mother" so she sent my sister in to fetch Katrina.
But my mother is in good company. That last story is similar to one from the scriptures. In Luke, chapter 2 there's a story with Jesus and Mary and Joseph.
41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover
42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast.
43 And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not of it.
44 But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among their kinsfolk and acquaintance.
45 And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him.
46 And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions.
I'm sure Mary was beside herself with worry, and guilt, don't you think? Yet I never hear people say she was a "bad" mother, in fact, she's just the opposite, a great example of a mother. And remember, this is a woman who was pregnant and unwed in a small town, you know that wasn't easy, at a time when you could be stoned to death for such a thing. The scriptures hint that she lived her life in poverty, when she & Joseph took Jesus to the temple for the first time, they offered two doves, that's the sacrifice that would be made by the very poorest in society. And that trip to Jerusalem when Jesus was 12, that's the last we hear of Joseph...which may mean she became a widow and single mother. I don't think her life turned out the way she expected or hoped it would. And when her son was crucified, the disciples scattered and His followers went into hiding, but while the world walked away she was there. She was also there on the day Jesus was resurrected, and she was with the believers on the day of Pentecost.
I love how the scriptures are full of examples of flawed people and how with God's love, mercy, grace and justice they learn to measure up and do profound things. Think about other women in the scriptures and the situations they dealt with.
Like Eve, the mother of Cain & Abel and others. She had to bury a child that was murdered by his own brother.
And what about Sarah, mother of Isaac. She's an old woman when she becomes a mom. I bet he wore her out, I'm sure there were times she couldn't keep up with little Isaac.
Remember Bathsheba and how she got pregnant and how far King David, the father, went to disguise what happened? Her son, Solomon, turned out to be a peaceable ruler with legendary wisdom. Whatever the circumstances, even those surrounding pregnancy and the birth of a child, God can redeem.
How about Jochebed, the mother of Moses, Miriam & Aaron? It was a desperate time but she was determined to save her baby son. Her ingenious idea of floating him down the river led to surprising results that rank up there with the best plot twists. And while I'm sure she's glad he was saved, it still must have hurt her heart to have another claim him as their son.
Life is messy. Being a mother is messy. Not one of us is perfect, Mary wasn't perfect, and we're not perfect, and that's okay! God understands the reality of mothering. Maybe you didn't have the best mother, maybe you're a single mother, maybe you're not on speaking terms with a child, maybe you didn't get to be a mother, maybe in spite of all your work your children make choices that bring hardship & heartache. There are a lot of different stories out there and today we celebrate women in all those situations. They deserve our honor and respect...and help & encouragement...and more than just one Sunday a year.
The thing about life is, it doesn't wait until we're perfectly prepared and feel totally up to the task. That's especially true of motherhood...it's a serious responsibility with on-the-job training.
I started this by giving some silly, but less-than-stellar examples of my mom, but I'll end with some that show her in a better light.
When I was 15, we went to western Canada and, along with my cousins, went hiking in a national park. We were strung along the trail and somehow got between a momma bear and her 2 cubs. My uncle spoke in a calm tone as he instructed us to be quiet, not make any sudden moves, and back up slowly. My Mom, meanwhile, was looking around for a stick or something that she could use to fight off the bear. That's a mom for you!
One thing about my mom, instead of saying "if there's anything I can do, let me know," she'll volunteer to do a particular task that needs doing, like offering to come do laundry for someone who's on bed rest. I have a sister whose first child was born with a heart defect. It was a tough 3 months as the baby languished. My mom rearranged her schedule so that she worked 3 long days here, then would go to Gainesville for 4 days where she did laundry, cleaned house, did the shopping and cooked meals so that my sister could spend the day with her baby at the hospital and then come home and eat something warm & nutritious and sleep, and my mom would spend the night at the hospital with the baby.
My mom isn't perfect, but like mothers everywhere, she can measure up and do profound things, just like the women we read about in the scriptures.
#I don't know why they asked a never-married gay man to speak on Mother's Day#my mom hates mother's day talks#'a bunch of men talking about what angels their mothers were'#'they got raised so I'm sure there was some yelling and mistakes along the way'#mother's day#tumblrstake

I could make a blog post with a kawaii anime picture and such like I usually do but I have a lot I want to write about so I ended up using my boyfriend’s computer.
I honestly haven’t been doing a lot lately since I’ve been back but spending time with the family and playing phone games. I have so many new and enlightening books I need to read, art that is yet to be made, and things that have yet to be written - like me writing in my actual physical diary which is so rare these days but of which I used to do every single day - but I lack motivation. I could blame it on my disorder. Or I could blame it on being a protagonist. But either way I need to own up to the fact that this is something I am struggling with as my own flaw and I need to put forth the steps to fix this problem because I don’t always want to be this way. Especially since I am an influence to my children. Really I know deep down this lack of motivation stems from my disorder and me not using my strength and assets adequately. I really need to get some professional help but it’s hard to find a health clinic like they had in the country out here in the city. You’d think they’d be easier to find... Maybe I’m just not looking hard enough.
Anyways aside from that things have been going really really really well on the whole relationship and family front.
Sometimes I’ll still get paranoia and random intrusive and irrational thoughts but for the most part I just try to put them aside and focus on all the good I have in my life because it truly is boundless and limitless. Sometimes it gets so bad though. Like I will actually play out negative scenarios in my head. Kind of like I’m daydreaming but instead of fantasizing about delightful things happening to me I imagine the worst possible things that could happen to me, emotionally. Maybe that is an offset of my PTSD. Maybe the paranoia and delusional visions is my subconscious trying to tell me that I still hold onto fear of being pained again. This is even evident in my day to day life because sometimes I will become suspicious and weary of my partner cheating on me when really I do have so much faith in him and believe that he would never do that to me. But when I get these paranoid thoughts and delusions it’s a different me. Not the real me. And I have to remind this me that it’s all in my head and to have more faith that he wouldn’t do anything to hurt me because he truly does love me with all of his heart. Him and I have been through hell and back together and we are still together. We have both changed for the better for each other and through loving each other.
Ugh there’s so much I want to document here. I am truly loving every single second of this life I am living with Bryan and our little family.
04/03/19
See this is exactly what I mean when I say it takes me forever to sit down and write a blog post. But I just found out I can write in cursive on here so that's pretty cool. I think the size of the font is kinda extra but I'm still going to use it cause I wanna. Anyways. I wish I could document all the moments happening in my life right now. There's so much beauty all around me and in my life every single day. It amazes me sometimes how blessed I am. And then of course Depression/irrational thoughts try to rear their ugly heads. But I have to remember the power and strength I have within myself and my God. There is nothing in this life I can not do. Anything is truly possible with this divine life path I have taken. I just must embrace the divinity of it.
As for my paranoia about my lover... It stems from my own insecurities as well as not being able to let go of the past. If I'm ever going to be truly happy with my man and in this relationship then I need to learn how to just let go of everything I've experienced in the past and just live in the present moment. Be here. Now. Because there is so much beauty in the present and I'm going to miss this one day.
I am going to miss this moment I am living in so much that I will look back on this blog and reminisce. Of when my son was so young - only 3 and a half months - and small and fragile...
How he plays with my hair and fusses when I set him down for too long and just wants to be held. How he holds onto my finger with his tiny hands and his adorable expressions and baby babble.
The other day B and I were taking Jedi somewhere and before leaving we looked into the car seat because the baby was giggling. He stopped when we both looked at him, looked up at us with his beautiful blue eyes, and laughed with us. It made B and I both so joyous. And this morning we were laying in bed with him as we do early in the mornings when he refuses to go back to sleep and he said "dada" and "yeah" & he also said "hi" this morning <3
And of course I'll miss how the first word he ever said was "mama" when he cries for me. This precious child of mine moves my heart to depths I never knew before.
And then my relationship woth B... It's truly the best it's ever been. I've never been so happy nor felt so secure in my whole life. I undwrstand him better especially about the whole not having sex thing because I can now harness my own spiritual energy when we are sexually stagnant. The love we share goes way beyond that of the physical and the relationship we share is truer than any other one ive ever been in. Sometimes I get crazy but I just need to learn to either be mindful of all the blessings and joy I have in my life or don't think at all.
Anyways we have shared a lot of beautiful moments these past two weeks we have been back together. I started playing Pokemon Go with him and we've caught a lot of beautiful sunrises together. The other morning I was looking at the game and B said excitedely "look babe!" & I dumbfoundedly looked up at the most gorgeous bright pink sunrise. It was definitely a good omen.
& This picture definitely does no justice but it will suffice~^0^
We also watched a movie I've been wanting to see on Netflix called The Dirt. You know, the one about Mötley Crüe. Legendary. Anywho I'm really glad we actually got to sit down and watch a movie together. We hardly ever get to do that because B doesn't really have the attention spam for movies, or so he says. He's just not a movie guy but he knows how badly I've been wanting to watch it with him and he canceled his plans woth his friend just to watch it with me. He's the best. He really is. And he deserves all of my love and faith. Unconditionally, just as my God loves me. <3 <3 <3
Oh yes, I'll miss this. The cuddles and warmth in the middle of the night. Being able to hold his hand whenever I need. Being able to talk to him about anything and everything. Going places and making love with him. But hopefully it never ends.
I believe in us. And our beautiful family.
~Xx Sammy Saurous RexX~
