the best mom in the world.

i've seen posts and statuses all day that say things like, "happy mother's day to the best mom in the world." those silly people. they must be confused.

I have the best mom in the world. hands down. way down.

she sacrifices everything for her family. 

she's courageous... so freaking courageous.

she's the coolest in her toms and noonday and warby parkers. 

she is passionate in her pursuit of Christ. 

she's one of the best bible teachers i've ever sat under. 

she always sees the bigger picture. 

she's such a fun grandmother.

she never misses an opportunity to tangibly display grace and love to us so that we'll better understand how Christ loves us.
she's super hospitable.
she trusts in the sovereignty of God even while sitting in a gazillion unanswered questions.
she loves cookies... and really all forms of "prizes."

i'm so thankful and honored to call her my mom, and i hope to be half the mom she is one day.
