My Beautiful Mami!♥♥

My wonderful siblings!!!:)♥

Rachel. My best friend... my sister!♥♥♥

(These are some of the best people I know and,

 part of those who helped form me into the CELINA I am today)

In the midst of the snow,
in the midst of the rain,
what if God chose a baby
and gave her a name?

What they didn’t know at first
would soon come and grow so fine.
She’d be in the midst of darkness
yet, still shine so bright.

It started in April
with a baby on the way.
Momma told the family
and what did she say?

At 4 years old, the sister asks
“What could the baby be?”
A boy or girl, they wouldn’t know
but just you wait and see.

Again and again, Rachel says
you have to have a girl mami!
I want a little sister, she would be so great.
Not just a sis, a best friend! One of a kind to me.

Mom reply’s, yes baby
but, it’s whatever God wants it to be.
A boy or a girl, it doesn’t matter.
We will love them for them, Forever and Always.

But, that wasn’t good enough,
and Rach went on & on.
So, momma told her to pray and ask
and God would show her the results.

So, as weeks passed
the little girl prayed from her heart
and, finally she got an answer!
So she went up to her mom…

Mommy, I know what you are having!
Not a little boy, but a little girl.
Her name will be Celina. Jesus told me.
She said with such imbue, it was sure.

What shocking news to have heard.
I sure know it would be shocking to me.
Yet, mom stood in not bane but happiness.
Not in doubt but true glee.

So, when she went to the doctors
for a checkup in this week,
they gave her the results
for what the baby would come to be.

Sure enough it was a girl,
just as God said she would have.
And, when baby Celina was born
it was a blessing in their hands.

As Celina grew up she often wondered,
“Why this name… for me?”
It took a while to receive the answer
but, she got it at fourteen.

In recent years she had looked it up
and the name has meant “moon”.
“God gave me this name,
but what does it have to do with anything?”

Well, now she understands
it is much more then what she thought.
It’s a reflection of His light in the darkness, a source of hope
 to many nations! Not just the meaning of a rock.

How wonderful did it feel
to know your purpose and calling in life.
The puzzle pieces now fit together.
Now I am an ice skater, gliding on the ice.

From the name of an unborn,
to a missionary, called at her feet.
You might not believe what I have told you
but trust me, it is true life... and it is me.♥
