Make a Difference Monday!

So on the radio station that I listen to... 101.9 Air1, they have this thing called, "Make a Difference Monday!" Which is just going out, seeing a need that someone needs and filling it. It could be something so simple as just buying someone's coffee or dry cleaning. That actually seems to the most used ways people try to make a difference. However, this morning I heard a story that got me crying and Mylah asking me, "what's wrong mommy?"

THE STORY

This guy calls in and explains how he passed a mother and daughter having car trouble. He thinks about stopping but doesn't... he actually thinks about it three times and finally on the last chance of making a U-turn. He decides to turn around and help. Which is just awesome in itself.... However, it wasn't till he said that he gave the lady $90 to buy a new tire... that my flood gates of tears came flowing out. This guy handed over his "allowance" money because he could tell this single mother and her daughter weren't doing so hot in the finance department.

So Mylah being the loving and compassionate child that she is... she asks me, "Mommy... what's wrong?" I couldn't help but just tell her, "Mylah, God is just so amazing and the love He shows us all, through random acts of kindness. It's just a little overwhelming for your mommy!" Don't think she really grasped anything I was saying but she nodded her little head and said the most amazing thing... "Mommy, Jesus Loves ME and you!"

Now I know to some people this story doesn't mean a thing to them, but man months ago... I was really questioning my parenting skills when it came to raise Mylah into an amazing woman in God Kingdom. I really thought lowly of that part of my life and prayed everyday for God's assistance in the parenting department. Don't get me wrong... I don't think I suck as a parent. My daughter isn't needing a single thing. She's in soccer and Karate. She has more than any child her age needs and most of all, She knows with all her heart... "I AM HER BIGGEST FAN! I love that little girl. However, I wanted my daughter to know that if anything ever happened to me.........God Willing Nothing does but if I wasn't here to watch that amazing girl grow... I wanted her to have a solid foundation in Christ and know that Jesus Loved that little girl.

Anyways...

When Mylah said that this morning with the biggest cheese grin... I actually had to pull over and thank God and cry... GO FIGURE :). Only because of how much my God loves me and my daughter, am I able to see how much He cares through my daughter's young but wise words! God loves us so much and that to me... is just so amazing. I am so grateful to the Frost Family, actually more like indebted to that family. Even though it was a short lived relationship, it made the most impact in my life. God has been showing me lately, that even the smallest things and/or relationships, are still big things for Him to use. His power is bigger than anything, that's why such a short lived relationship could mean so much. It was a God filled relationship. To Him, I have to say... goes all the glory for Mylah and my life.

On another note... someone made a difference in my life today too. I had a stranger buy my breakfast and I have to say... even though it was a just a couple dollars... It made me feel so amazing and loved. Once again... God using the smallest things to say, "I love you!" I am now officially a "Make a Difference participant.
