A good friend of mine recently wrote these beautiful words to her children and I loved them so much that I wanted to say them to my own children. It seemed as if she took these words right from my own heart. So in honor of Mothers Day, here is my commitment letter to my babies.
Dear Logan and Jordy
Today I commit my life to the Lord first so that you will know how much you are loved. That you will always know that as much as I love you, Jesus loves you more. I don't understand it, but He gave His life to prove it. I owe it to you to "acknowledge Him in all my ways" Proverbs 3:6 so that I may be the mother you need to ultimately live a life for His purpose. That you may live a life that will radically change those around you. I pray that I can raise you with the confidence to go to the ends of the earth and proclaim the gospel. To have a confidence that I have always dreamed of. I pray that your boldness is undeniable, but your heart is full of compassion. I am committing today,to love you, even when you don't love me back. To always pray for you. To pray for your future friends and spouses. I am committed to loving you so much that I will say no, even if all the moms are saying yes. I am committed to not being the cool mom, but the mom who cares more about your well being. I am committed to losing sleep, so that I can pray for you when you need it most. I commit my time and desires to be for your well being. I am committing that you will always know your value in my life. I am committed to your father. Lastly, I am committing your lives back to the Lord. I know I will fail at these things everyday, but He never will fail you and I am committed to teaching you that.
I Love You Forever,
Mommy
