Today I’m going to talk about motherhood..
Motherhood.. it’s such a crazy, wild ride. You spend most of your life anticipating it... getting ready for it. Most of us grew up playing babies, house, or barbies.. even back then dreaming about what our future kids would look like, what their names would be and wondering if you’d have a girl or a boy? Remember the good old fashioned game MASH.. I think most times I ended up with a mansion and 12 kids.
So we spend a lot of our lives anticipating motherhood.. this time in our lives.. and then we are living it.. it’s a bizarre time. It’s exhausting, it’s amazing, and it’s never ending.
The messes are never ending. The worries and wonders are never ending.. and sometimes it feels like the days are never ending.. until they do.
The days drag on but the years go fast. Sounds weird but is so true. Being a mom is the best thing in my life. My daughters are my entire world and I thank God every day for bringing them into my life.
Somedays are tough.. some days I feel like they are mini tornadoes that rip through one room of my house at a time.. coincidentally right after I’ve cleaned it.
But most days are magical.. that smile, that giggle, and that one of a kind hug.. it’s magic. The love of motherhood is never ending. It’s forever. It’s always.
As I write this my girls are giggling in the backseat, enjoying an ice cream after our social distancing visit to a local zoo. We had to get out of the house. I literally thought they were going to pull each others hair out if we didn’t. It was one of those mornings.
They are giggling as they quote ridiculous dialogue from their most recent favorite show, Victorious and gurgling their ice cream between their teeth.
Today, I am grateful for days like this.. I am grateful for this messy journey called motherhood. I’m thankful for my two greatest blessings. Though days are hard and messes and worry are never ending.. I couldn’t imagine doing anything else with my life.
I’ll end today with this prayer:
Dear Lord, Motherhood is hard but I know with you by my side, I can raise my girls in your light. With you by my side, I will do my best to raise them to be good, kind people. I will teach them to know you and to find the small joys that you give us each day. I pray today for those out there that are struggling to become a mother. I pray for those that are trying to embark on this journey. I know there are so many women out there who wish to be moms. Please Lord grant them peace. Grant them comfort and understanding. Finally if it’s your will grant them with the blessing of their own child. Through you all things are possible. In your name I pray, Amen.
