♕ Today's Promise: "God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble." Psalm 46:1
Today I am reflecting on how much my HH (Heavenly Husband) has transformed my mom, but in her journey, I have had to renew my mind as well. Let me explain. Always refreshing in the Abundant Life courses, something I have had to reflect on is my relationship with my parents. There comes a time when the roles somewhat change and I feel like we, as the children, are now caretakers of them. The roles have reversed. My mom was always a very strong woman, and now has had a change of lifestyle we are all adjusting to. Michele's testimonies of her parents always come to mind and I have had to really let go and trust my mom in His hands, knowing that I must be careful not to become insubordinate.
During my week away with my family, I received a call from a distant cousin. I thought nothing of it and answered. What she was about to tell me was news about my precious mom. My HH (Heavenly Husband) has taught me never to react, but remain calm and in my heart surrender it all to Him. So, as she tells me that my mother was in the hospital and my brother was on his way, I calmly answered, "oh good, my brother will be with her shortly and I am sure he will let me know if he needs me." I said thank you and hung up. I had to pause and run to him, (a little corner to be alone) and just asked Him what to do. It was late and I normally don't call my mom at that time, but He said just wait. So I continued with my tasks (renovating my son's new home) and just surrendered. As the night came in and I had time again to be alone with Him I asked Him if I should be worried or do something, He gently said, "do you trust me?" and I said of course, "so do nothing and rest." The next morning at the usual time I called my mom, I was led to do so, and my heart filled with tears of joy as I heard her voice on the other line happy and excited to hear from me. She mentioned nothing so I didn't either, I just knew My HH had protected and healed her.
I am back home from my trip and now my mom has decided to go to Colombia, SA to visit her sister and spend a month over there. I have to confess that my "protective" side wants to come out and try to control the situation, but instead, He shows me to LOVE and support her decisions and most importantly I need to trust and surrender my precious mom to HIM and He is always in control.
