I admire mothers. They can cook dinner, take care of kids, make sure hubby's happy, and take care of business all at the same time. Their ability to manage an entire household amazes me. Looking for a real life superhero? Just look at the moms of this world.
I have the bestest mommy in the whole world. I mean, I know you may think yours may compare...you may even think your mom is the world's best, but I must say: if you were to look up "World's Best Mother" in the dictionary, there would definitely be a pic of my mom. She is my bestie and a wonderful role model for me. No, she's not perfect, but the cool thing is, she's willing to admit when she makes mistakes. God broke the mold when He made Karen Weakly. I pray that, when I become a mom, I'm able to be for my children what my mom has been for me.

| My sister, mother, and me Mother's Day 2011 |
In honor of Mother's Day, I'm posting one of my favorite bible passages: Proverbs 31: 10 - 31. This is dedicated to all the mothers (biological, adoptive, stand-ins, etc).
A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.
Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.
She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.
She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.
She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.
She gets up while it is still night;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her female servants.
She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.
She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.
In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.
When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.
She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes.
She is clothed with strength and dignity;
she can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom,
and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
her husband also, and he praises her:
“Many women do noble things,
but you surpass them all.”
Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.
Honor her for all that her hands have done,
and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
This week's cutie pie is actor, Nicholas Gonzalez, from San Antonio, TX. Nicholas is best known for his role as Alex Santiago in Resurrection Blvd in the late 90s. He's played on TV shows like The O.C., Law & Order: SVU, CSI: Miami, and Melrose Place. He had a recurring role on ABC's, Of the Map (I think the show is cancelled, though). He was romantically linked to Regina King a few years ago. Nicholas has also done some nude modeling. Yeah, uh...I got quite an eyeful while looking for pics to post. ;D
