The Meaning of Family

No one can deny that our biological family plays a significant role in shaping our lifelong mindset. But...what if we could experience a broader sense of family? A true God-inspired understanding that we are blessed to experience the many variations before us.

My Family

Growing up in a single-parent home with five other siblings wasn't always easy. But what was easy was allowing the love of our mother, our aunt (Tia), and our grandmother to pour into our lives. Their love and passion brought forth the uniqueness within each of us.

Had they not taught me that meaning. I would have never been able to raise two boys as a single mom. Regardless of the challenges of doing so Gods fingerprints were upon us and that only made me fall in love with God even more.

Our family has seen great highs and deep lows, as every family does. But our mother, aunt, and grandmother taught us to lean upon God to rise again after stumbling, falling, and crying, and that our greatest gift was to lean upon the strength of Jesus and understand our best days our before us.

Loving Additions

Walking through life and standing strong on your own is exactly what we are all capable of. Nevertheless, having someone by your side who is willing to accept the super-high, flow in the groove, and the hard lows is an added gift. My husband, aka Blue Eyes, grows stronger with every challenge we face and I can feel the strength God places in him to help me along. We both know the "family" God created was meant to be.

Those Around Us

God knew we would all need special souls to enter our lives in order to shape us and touch our hearts. They make you smile, let you cry, and encourage you to keep moving forward to fulfill the unique journey you alone were destined for. I call them life-long friends and I am grateful for each of them. 

Lean on Jesus and know that with Him you can do all things!

Love, 

Maria
