Strong, Courageous and Determined

"It is a joy for the just to do justice, But destruction will come to the workers of iniquity."
- Proverbs 21:15

This encouragement is dedicated to mothers who embrace purpose in the midst of the pain; mothers who won't let the memories of their children fade like old newspaper articles; mothers who aren't afraid to speak their names until their children are recognized for more than a tragedy, but a triumph; the fierce mothers. 

This encouragement is dedicated to the mothers everywhere who mourn; the mothers who ache; the mothers who hurt; the mothers who long; the mothers who wait. Mothers who hold on to the love and memories of their beloved children. The mothers laying awake at night wondering why, when, where, how, and even who?

This encouragement is dedicated to mothers whose dreams of justice drive them to cry aloud and spare not to anyone who will hear their petition; the mothers who stand in the gates, in the courts, on the streets and demand justice for ALL our children and not just their own; the mothers who dream. 

I dedicate this Mother's Day to you. My strong, courageous and determined mothers. God's continued strength and peace to you on Mother's Day. 

A special dedication to my friend & sister, Tracey Peppers-Mitchell, founder of Mothers Overcoming Violence Everywherehttp://www.mothersovercomingviolence.org/ and to Ms. Gonnie Goins of Hearts Healing Hearts, LLC. Thank you for being the mothers you are!
