They even light the Olympics!
anndddd back to my mom...
Reason I think my mom is great:
My mother is and always has been a very strong role model for me. Growing up I was taught the importance of education, the importance of setting goals and working hard, and most importantly the importance of giving grace to all (hence why she named me Alexandra Grace Ferguson, the longest known name to human mankind, which I absolutely love, even though it takes up every single space on test bubble sheets). My mother has always been able to do both what she loves doing (and is very good at) as well as raise 4 successful children. I'm inspired by my mom, a woman who has been able to have it all-- Family, Career, Strong Faith, etc.
If I were to write a book about my mom it would be titled, Carrie Ferguson: The Pioneer of all Moms.
Why?
The name speaks to me.
Actually, I think it has a nice ring to it.
Actually, I think my Mom's better than your mom! Sorry! Not Sorry!
Okay… that was mean. All moms are amazing, so don't forget to thank them for being so great!
Speaking of great check out these pictures…

Tangent Time:
1. I was a tank of a baby.
2. Can you believe that my dad actually had black hair at one point in time? (Gabby must have caused him to grey)
3. Speaking of hair, I must have caused my mom to pull her hair out because note it's long when I'm a baby but by the time I'm a toddler she cut it.
anndddd back to my mom...
Reason I think my mom is great:
Did you know that my Mom has always forgiven me even when I make mistakes?
It's true.
And sometimes I am crabby to her on the phone when she is just trying to help. And in those moments it reminds me of how ungrateful I can be at times with not just my mom, but God.
Whew. Glad I got that off my chest!
Reasons my mom is amazing?
She always sends me encouraging messages.
She always knows what to say to make me feel better.
AND she reminds me that God has a plan.
Ladies: The following prayers are words my mother shared she is praying for me daily. I'm sharing them with you in hopes that they are gentle reminders to 1. Never settle for less than what you deserve. 2. Realize your self worth. 3. Believe in God's plan.
Without further adieu or ado or whatever that word is…
1. Let her learn early in life that to obey You, God, is the best way to the life her heart truly desires (1 Samuel15:22).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
2. May she find comfort in Your ability, God, to reach her, hold her and rescue her (2 Samuel 22:17-18).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
3. Let her find confidence in You, God, even when hard times come and she doesn't know what to do, by keeping her eyes fixed on You (2 Chronicles 20:12).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
4. May she keep herself under control and not give full vent to people and situations that anger her (Proverbs 29:11).
-----------------------------------------------------------------
5. Let her walk in the security of Your assigned worth to her. Give her a strong work ethic and health to accomplish all her tasks. Give her a heart that desires to extend her hand to those in need. Protect her for the right husband, a man of respect and godly honor. And let her be a woman of joy and laughter whose Christ-centered character is what makes her most beautiful (Proverbs 31).

P.S. Love you, mom! Sorry I haven't answered your text messages today. Don't be hatin'.
