I’m calling Mom!

August 25, 2014March 11, 2020by MsjessicamariejamesLeave a Comment on I’m calling Mom!

This is an example of daily phone calls with my daughter, when I call to check on them, or when she calls to tattle. Because, when all else fails, call mom. Enjoy!  Phone Call #1 Me: How is everything going at home? Are the boys being good? Did they eat breakfast? Gracie: Umm ya they [...]

Divorce & the StepMom

July 4, 2014March 11, 2020by Msjessicamariejames12 Comments on Divorce & the StepMom

Have you ever awoke from a dream that was so intense and real that your heart breaks as you open your eyes? I dreamt about him again, and its such a double edged sword because even though for the duration of the dream we're together again, there is always the waking up that rips him [...]

Motherhood

Two by two, what I wanted for you.

January 23, 2014March 11, 2020by MsjessicamariejamesLeave a Comment on Two by two, what I wanted for you.

Two things, that’s all I really hoped my kids would be blessed with - because with those two things they could conquer the world. One thing I wanted most for my children was for them to have a mother, an involved mother, someone who made time for them, whose hugs healed any pain, and whose [...]

Divorce, Motherhood

Maybe that is why…

October 20, 2012March 11, 2020by MsjessicamariejamesLeave a Comment on Maybe that is why…

Driving the other day I realized something that was almost hard to swallow. The only long term commitment I have stayed true to, is my children. The people who I could not live without, who I need by my side, to see, touch, everyday is my children. Other than them, my life has been filled [...]

What I want him to know…

September 8, 2012September 9, 2012by MsjessicamariejamesLeave a Comment on What I want him to know…

One day without much notice this little blonde hair baby came totting into my home. Barely able to walk on your own, you were holding your daddy’s hand.  My life changed in that moment, almost the same as when you hear the words “you’re pregnant”. Except in my case, I didn’t have nine months to [...]

There’s been a lot of talk about Gabby Petito, domestic violence, and loving toxic people.
Since Gracie was a little girl and could mutter a sentence we have had this little saying, “I love you from Reese‘s pieces, stoplight, house.” We were driving down the street and we must’ve been eating Reese‘s pieces and passed a stoplight and then passed a house etc. And it just kind of stuck from there. Her being in Stillwater, and so far away on her birthday I wanted to do something special. I reached out to a local cookie decorator and baker in the Oklahoma area. Amanda @whisk__sugar was able to create the perfect cookies for Gracie! She was able to create an entire theme off of everything that I asked and incorporated the Reese’s pieces, the stoplight, and the house!!!
I read something this morning likening the love Jesus had for us in the Garden and ultimately dying on the cross to the love a mother has for her child. That there was no limit to how far a mother would go to protect her child, and Jesus was no different with us. We as mothers would endure that same torture to save our children.
She committed long before she got accepted. Now we’re all committed and it’s a family thing!
She's shown me that it's okay to be a little wild, different and outspoken. That it's beautiful to be uniquely unafraid to be bold and unapologetically yourself. That maybe it's okay to break the rules sometimes 😉 and march to the beat of your own drum.
God showed me my heart in his hands at a potter's wheel. It was stretched, worn out, and misused but still his piece of artwork that he lovingly held in his hands. He showed me how gently he holds us, how he wants to take the beautiful parts of us and add to them. And, cut away the rough edges. He’s shown me this when I pull weeds before but this was powerful in a different way because as he was holding me (my heart) and the pottery wheel began to spin he showed me how vital the water is to remolding the clay!
