The girls went out last night. Me, Mommy, Priscilla, Kanika (sis-in-love), & Wynter (cousin) met each other for a minute to look each other in the eyes, laugh, and cackle. Sunday didn’t work out to be the best day for all of us to do something together, so we made our Mother’s Day yesterday 🙂 It was a blast! I think we closed the restaurant.
When asked by our waiter what we were celebrating we told him that we were doing a late Mother’s Day dinner. And then the waiter smiled and said, “But EVERYDAY is Mother’s Day! If you are a mother, then everyday is a day to celebrate that you are loved and treasured.”
And while there may not be a national holiday that reoccurs on a daily basis (I wish there was), our waiter was right…anyday is a good day to celebrate our worth and value as mothers. Actually any day is a good day to celebrate our worth and value as WOMEN!
So to celebrate the fact that we are fantastic creations with intrinsic worth and value simply because we are made in the image of God and designed and crafted with his loving touch…
I say we do a GIVEAWAY!!!
Priscilla wrote her first book about this very thing. A Jewel in His Crown will take you on a journey to rediscover your value as a woman of excellence.
And just because it seems like the right thing to do… Priscilla offered a few copies of The Resolution for Women too!
I’ll have 3 copies of each to give away. On Friday morning I’ll pick six winners at random.
Simply leave a comment and tell me why YOU are worth celebrating! As a younger woman, “seasoned” woman, career woman, single woman, mom, wife, etc….what is valuable about YOU?
Can’t wait to hear from you!
Edited to add:
Mom is getting in on the fun too. She’s adding three copies of her book Seasons of a Woman’s Life to the giveaway mix!
Be sure to leave your comment!
I am worth celebrating because I make sure I give my nieces and nephews love. I want them to know they can count on me for any situation. Although I am not a mother right now….. I love those babies soooo much.
That’s great Felicia! Aunts are important. It takes a village right?
As a single woman I am worthy of being celebrated because God has purpose for my life. I may just look like me, but I am a barer of glory.
That’s great! Thanks for commenting…
I am worth celebrating, because I’m a child of God. A daughter of the most High. I’m worth celebrating because God and all of Heaven’s angels celebrated my name being written into the Lamb’s book of life when I chose eternal life over eternal damnation. I am worth celebrating because I am I’m redeemed and I’m your sister in Christ–Heaven’s royalty!
I am worth celebrating because I have, I do, and I will continue to submit to God’s will. I faithfully strive to meet His purpose in my life and that helps me in being the wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend, etc that He would have me to be. I am worth being celebrated because God made me and I accept that!
I love this! So often as women, we are quick to talk about our flaws and rarely talk about what we like or celebrate about ourselves! I am celebrating the truth that God has taught me to fully live in the season I’m in, to maximize every moment…I love differently because of that! I am also so blessed to get to love so many and to be loved too! 🙂
Love your energy and excitement about celebrating!
I am worth celebrating because I left everything I had and knew to follow Jesus (my country,my friends,my family and my dreams) because I knew He had something better for me. And although it hasn’t been easy it has been the most marvelous journey ever. And one of the dreams he had put in my heart is to have a Ministry for Woman, because many have no idea how much they are worth, and this breaks my heart. So if I win, this will help the Ministry God is helping me build. And if not I know He will use it for someone who needs it more :). And thank you for this act of kindness! God bless you!
Wow! Thanks for sharing Gabriella!
I am worth celebrating because at 57 I never bore any children. But today I am a spiritual mom to many that I have been blessed to see grow up and launch out into the deep things of God. They.even send me cards and gifts on Mother’s Day. I can truly say because of God blessing me with them I never feel I was barren. I am a blessed Mom!
Darleen…thanks for sharing such a beautiful testimony.
I am worth celebrating because God has given me a heart for children that I do not ignore! I love my babies, my siblings babies, and friends babies as my own. Being a mom is one of my greatest accomplishments! So grateful.
I am worth celebrating because I am fabulous. Not vanity I just know who I am.in Christ..He has such purpose for me and I know it.
I have chosen to make Him known in every area of my life. I trust Him fully. Hr gave me an extra dose of grace last June when I was in a terrible.car accident. i Iive to worship Him. I love to worship Him .
I am worth celebrating because God created me for purpose. I know that purpose. Hes given me a big heart for children, at risk children, children with no parents, my nieces, nephews, and God- children. As an aunt I have a lot of time for all my nices and nephews! I love being an aunite and being able to pour into kids when they need it and being able to give moms a break when they need it. I am also worth celebrating because I understnad the importance of my job as a teacher and I dont take it lightly. I refuse to let any of my students fail- failure is not an option for them. They are currently all above grade level in reading and that is so exciting. I give God so much praise for the extra dose of grace he gave to me last June. I could of died out in East Texas (after a horrible car accident) but He said I am not through with you yet. I give Him so much praise for that. I live to worhsip Him. I love to worship Him. I love my life and God for blessing me with it.
I am worth celebrating because I am a woman of God, a single mom- raising a young boy in Christ, and because each and everyday of my life God reminds me that he is not finished with me. Coming up on 5 years ago, I was almost killed in a car accident, but God spared my life, and after recovery he laid it on my heart to go back to school so that I could do his will for my good and his glory! I have been all about strengthening my relationship with Christ and Kingdom building ever since! The journey gets rougher each day. But, my God gives me strength, makes me tougher and tells me to keep pressing on! I’m worth celebrating because for me, giving up has never been an option!
The only thing worth celebrating about me isn’t me but the God in me. I am crucified and no longer live but Christ lives in me and HE is worth celebrating. Because of Him, I pressed on after 4 miscarriages because I believed in His promise for a child (got 2!). I’m now a housewife with a loving husband, and 2 beautiful daughters and blessed to be able to care for my parents as they enter the latter season of life. Dutchess – not worth celebrating, but the God in Dutchess – now that’s a celebration all day every day!
That’s for sharing your story. I know that as other women read the comments, they will see yours and be inspired.
I am worth celebrating because God puts value on my life. I belong to him and every person who is redeemed is worth celebrating for the same reason. That is why the angels in heaven have a praise party every time a new sheep is added to the flock 🙂
I’m worthy of celebrating because I’m available to my husband and children. And, although, I don’t always get it right. God created me and loves me so much that He provides me grace to make it. 🙂
Chrystal, I’m commenting, not for the giveaway, but to let you know how glad I am that you’re blogging again. I’m doing the same, and I’m excited to read your writing once again.
I’m worth celebrating because of Him. It’s for Him and through the awesome grace of Jesus that I can be used for His purposes on the earth. May His name be magnified in all I do.
Thanks for being so supportive Susy! Can’t wait to catch up on you and your life! Life first. Blog second right?
Wow, who would think it would be so hard to come up with a reason to celebrate yourself. What you said about our lives having instrinic value because God says so resonated with me. In this season I keep reminding myself that God is true and faithful because He says so and because He cannot deny Himself. Despite my doubts and worry about whether marriage and motherhood will come, I am standing firm on Biblical truth. I will celebrate because I am a daughter of the Most High and because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. 🙂
Great blog post!
Yes Amber. We have to celebrate ourselves. We do.
I am a child of the King! I strive to reflect the light of the Father. I love to smile and engage in excitement and enjoy every minute of life. That seems to be contagious! I value and respect others and embrace individual differences in a day and time when mockery and public ridicule seems to be the normal response. Those qualities are a few that make me valuable!
Would love to be blessed with either book. I’m currently reading The Resolution for Women as an audio book. Having the physical copy to highlight would be a blessing! Great stuff!
I am worthy simply because Christ says so!’ There is nothing in me except the masterpiece He made me to be. It has taken me years to realize that God has a plan uniquely designed for me. Do I have it all together, no and I can’t tell you I have the full plan, but I do know that it is for my good and His glory. He will whisper my plan and provide my daily bread to sustain it.
