WHAT MOTHERHOOD MEANS TO ME

“Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It’s huge and scary, it’s an act of infinite optimism.”
Motherhood for a small girl like has meant alot of things but most importantly, it’s been a blank book full of pages to fill with I know best and questions like; Am I doing it right? Am I enough? What if I fail?

It has been a balance on a string but I can’t deny that it has also been a learning ground for me. Here is a prayer for every young out there like me, God will protect you and your children and He will give you courage for the journey ahead.
I know you may have gone through unimaginable circumstances that cause you to question God’s protection and faithfulness. You may wonder, “Where was God when…” and long for an assurance offered by one who has been there.
I’ve been there. And I’ve known fear—the kind of fear that loosens joints and weakens muscles, leaving me in an inconsolable heap on the floor. I’ve known a fear that brought out the protective momma bear within me, willing to fight to the death for my son.

But I’ve also known the deceptively small but pervasive fears that threatened to overtake my life or at least a few minutes: fear of failure; fear of trying new things or meeting new people; fear of illness and injury and death; fear of losing my son, being alone, or marrying the wrong person; fear of confrontation, or checking my bank account balance.

I lived a life marked by fear. But more importantly, I learned to live courageously within the protective arms of the Savior. Motherhood became where I drove my strength from, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
In Him, you will find your strength and protection. In Him, you will find the will to not only survive, but to thrive and embrace the life He graciously gave you.

You will encounter suffering in this world and yet, you have nothing to fear. You can stand firm in the knowledge that nothing can separate you from the love of Christ, and in this hope you will find the courage to persevere.
So do not fear, I celebrate you today. I’m proud of you. You have done your best this far, don’t beat yourself down❤
