Did you know it is Women’s History Month? What started out as a week of recognition is now a month on the international calendar. The theme for 2025 ” Moving Forward Together! Women Educating & Inspiring Generations.”
Over this month I will be highlighting the woman who have impacted my life.
So, this week the award goes to Momma Jo.
My maternal great grandmother- an American Indian of the Cherokee People. I embrace the oral tradition of the stories told of her strength, her fortitude, and her undeniable person-hood in the presence of those that sought to deny her heritage and her people.
I embrace the strength that has trickled down from Momma Jo through the generations of women that have passed on before me- my mother and my grandmother. I walk in the faith of God above that was shared with me in the home by these wonderful women. I embrace the prayers prayed for me that has grounded me in obedience and perseverance.
To all the 18 grandchildren with me today, to the generations beyond, may they also walk in strength and bring their own history. May they be recognized for the good they have and will do in their life. May they know that they matter and can make a difference in this world.
One generation commends your works to another;
they tell of your mighty acts.
They speak of the glorious splendor of your majesty—
and I will meditate on your wonderful works.
Through all of life’s history, may we continue to lift up the Lord, for that is the source of our strength and the grace of forgiveness.
May I never forget the award winning grammie songs sung on my behalf from the woman that went before me and my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
Always grateful,
Walking In Your Gifts
