A possible Answer

I still don't quite understand the whole Mother Theresa thing. It makes me depressed that no one responded to that blog. But it is what it is.
Last Sunday, being Mother's Day, I gave a present to Cinderella. I was so excited to give it to her. LittleOne helped me put it together and as soon as we were done with church we took it over to her. She loved it, yay! But I was surprised to find a bouquet of flowers that Cinderella had arranged for me (I would assume with some help from TooTall). They are gorgeous! And I had them next to a beautiful arrangement JellyBean had put together for me earlier that week on my kitchen table.
Well yesterday I noticed that they were starting to loose petals so I decided to take the whole bouquet and turn it upside down to dry. I'm not sure if all the flowers in it will look good dried, but we'll see. I like dried flowers. JellyBean's arrangement got taken down too. I'm pressing a few of those flowers in some books. Yay flowers!
But the point to all of this is actually in the card that was with Cinderella's flowers. (Here's a picture of my JellyBean.)
In the card TooTall & Cinderella wrote me it states:
"I'm not sure what you see, but we see an administering angel when it come to you. And that is one of the greatest things of a Mother you posses."
When I read that it seemed to me that that might be what everyone was referring to with the Mother Theresa comments. Though I don't know if its all they were implying. But this morning I was pondering on such things and singing. When I saw the bouquet hanging there it reminded me of this comment. I don't know if I am an administering angel, but I know the Lord is strengthening me, and that is what matters. As long as I can continue in His work, whatever it may be I can continue. No matter how hard it gets.
Thanks Cinderella, Thanks TooTall. TooTall is one of the superheros in my life and Cinderella makes a great leading lady.


Here's a picture of TooTall with his Leading Lady, Cinderella. And my other SuperHero Atlas... He's still looking for his Leading Lady, but he'll find her.

Another Chapter

So the world keeps turning and makes me feel dizzy sometimes.
Today BRG Research Services and I have parted ways. Things have happened and I am no longer there. Part of me feels like I have been released from a ball and chain. Another part of me is trying desparately to have faith that the Lord will provide. For I do not have another job, neither does my BetterHalf. I am applying everywhere I can. I pray God will be with us as well as all of you.

In my Daughter's Eyes

Even though I won't go into it. I have no real desire to celebrate this Mother's Day. But yesterday I heard this song and it simply reminded me how grateful I am to be a Mother. Even if my Miracle LittleOne is the only one I ever have I am more grateful than any heart can say. She makes me a better person. I know my BetterHalf feels the same way. I just wish I could be a stay at home Mom for her, instead of listening to: No Mommy, please, no go to work. Your fine, no work!
She is my precious LittleOne and today if nothing else I celebrate that she is a future Mother.

Mother Theresa

I would love for anyone to please help me with this. I have recently been told numerous times that I am a 'Modern, young, Mother Theresa'. I'm not trying to brag. The thing is, I don't know how to take that. One thing I've decided that while I know that that is meant as a compliment I don't really know anything about Mother Theresa.
So! I would love to hear your responses. Do you know anything about Mother Theresa? Do you think I'm anything like her? Do you have any idea what they would be referring to?
Granted I know part of this confusion is due to the fact that I know I don't take compliments (or given them) like other people. It's weird but I don't give compliments or insults. I think something I think you should know, I tell you whether you take it as good or bad is up to you. So because I know others will say things with other motivations (and it took me more years than I care to figure that out) I worry that they are trying to say something nice. Because of what the first reference was I'm pretty sure this wasn't just something to compliment me, since it was some friends talking to complete strangers about politics and brought me in as a reference on why this younger generation is prepared. So.... Again, what do you think? What do you know? I look forward to feedback...
