When I reflect on my motherhood journey, I realize, that just like in my marriage, God has been the Author and Perfecter of my role. When I was younger I never liked or wanted children, but God… I felt ill equipped at every turn, but God… I made many mistakes, but God… the responsibility terrified me, but God… I’ll mess this all up, “Help, God!” …and He always did and always will.
Motherhood taught me what love really is: patient, kind, humble, courageous, selfless, always hopeful, faithfully enduring and never, ever ending! But the greatest gift Jesus gave me on this journey was Joy! Joy through pain, trials, loss, uncertainty, and even death. Joy became my superpower through every hard time we faced and gave us all strength to go on!
Others make us better Mothers…so I have many to thank: my wonderful husband who I have had the most glorious privilege of BEcoming better humans together that resemble Jesus more and more, to my faithful friends who are wonderful examples of motherhood and impart their wisdom, my own mother, long gone, but the best example I could never live up to, my children who give me joy and grace and a million reasons to pray lol, and mostly to Jesus, who never leaves nor forsakes us and teaches us all the reasons behind all the “why Gods” !!!
May God bless every mother, everywhere, under every circumstance.
Happy Mother’s Day! 🙌🙏🥰💐
