Open Letter to a Celebrity

April 29, 2016 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

 

When was the last time that someone held you accountable
Told you when you were right and wrong
When was the last time that they didn’t just listen to your beat or dance to your song
How long did you spend thinking about the decisions that you’ve made
Not just about the opportunity or how much you’ll get paid
When did you consider your influence and the power to inspire change
Have you realized that you could motivate some to do good and others to fail
Maybe you don’t realize they’re hanging on to your coattail
You say you want to make a statement and you have something to say
Have you considered your actions
Humbled yourself for a moment to just pray
Why are you so adamant on going against the grain
Not the one that makes you popular but the one that declares His name
I know your not religious or at least when it comes to this
You believe you can do whatever you want and still receive His blessed kiss
Now up until this moment, you were considering my words
Don’t let what others say confuse you and make you act absurd
Yes there are things that you can do which defame your name
They make you look bad and bring you shame
There are those that may pay you very well
But the price that you pay…it’s your soul that you sell
Now consider my question and consider your call
Do you have someone to hold you accountable at all

Sincerely a praying sister concerned and watching,

Makeda

Letters to Moms Out There…

February 20, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

dearnewmomI’ve been a mom now for 12 years. Some women would say, “that’s it!” Yet there are others that would say, “Wow! That’s a long time!” That how I feel. At times, it is hard to believe that I’ve been a mother this long. It is such a blessing.

Every year, I try to think about how I can help a new mother or a mother that has been mothering for less time than I have. I have learned some lessons, both easy and hard. This year, I am deciding to write a series of letters to the new mother. By new, I mean a mom that has been mothering for 5 years or less. This mom could also be a mom that recently had a baby and feels like she is starting over again.

I say that, but I think that this can benefit any mom. I am still being encouraged by my past and current revelations.

Why am I doing this?

I am writing these letters because, I used to want to be a perfect mom. I didn’t want anyone to see my mistakes. (You know I made them, right?!) I didn’t want to ask for help. (You know I had to ask right?!) I was afraid. (I still am at times, but I trust God with this.)

Honestly, I feel like I’ve hidden long enough and I’m about to let the cat out of the bag…

I don’t know how else to put it.

I used to want to be the mom that was “super.” Then I realized that if I was super, there would be no need for a Savior, because I wouldn’t need help… and what a huge lie that is. Now, I won’t allow anyone to call me “super mom.” I’m a mom, just like you…

I live, I mess up, I learn, I get better…

Ureka! That’s my why!

I want another mom to know that its perfectly fine to make mistakes…you can’t learn if you don’t.

No that laundry isn’t ever going to be done…unless we stop wearing clothes. I don’t think anyone wants that. 🙂

Yes, you may have been punctual and consistent before and now you’re not. Give yourself some room to breath. God knows what life is like for you and He doesn’t hold any of your slip ups against you.

Through these letters, I want to tell, show, and encourage you simply be your best…

Give life your all…

Don’t hold back…

Don’t be afraid…

Trust God…

AND BREATH!!!

Dear Laundry

January 27, 2014 By Mrs. Mom Leave a Comment

Dear Laundry,

If I were your friend, I would only let you come over once a week

I’d pray for you because you don’t know how to stop

We’d have to have a talk because whenever you come around, I am left with one sock. (washing & drying)

Laundry, I appreciate your friendship and I know that you do a lot that I don’t feel like doing. (washing & drying)

Yet, at times I’m frustrated with the folding and put away that I’m left with.

It seems that we have a love hate relationship and I am blessed by it…

I think you make me better

Sincerely,

Being Mrs Mom
