#evengodhadamother I will never understand the strength it takes to be a mother, but I can reach for its definition in a string of words squished together the reader hopefully has to take a little extra time reading because there’s no help from space. The pound sign is like a thrill. Will what follows be worth the extra bit of effort or will it have been a waste of time. I have wasted plenty of time reading flat hashtags that were so flat they weren’t written even with the intention of what hashtags were intentionally created for. 4/23 I’ve always heard Lord help my unbelief. And it was not until I had the thought that even God had a mother - I understood what unbelief is. How can God be God and still need a mother to be God? Knowing my mother is how God helps my unbelief in understanding God, too, could not be God without a mother. Emily could not be Emily as she was created to be Emily without her mother.
