Being a mom can be...
I want to share just two words about being a mom.... It's hard!
Sometimes it seems like moms are the good guys, but unfortunately a lot of the time, moms seem like the bad guys. Sometimes, we have to say things that would be easier to leave unsaid and sometimes we make mistakes and jump to conclusions that are incorrect. There are even times when we say and do the wrong thing, thinking it was the right thing...yet, sadly, it is still the wrong thing and it crushes their spirit. It's funny that the most rewarding job in the world is also one of the hardest jobs. We plan and work to try to make our children's lives wonderful, but sometimes wonderful just doesn't happen...and life is difficult instead.
One thing that I have learned through the years is that even when being a mom can be hard, it is worth any headache that it can bring. No one can fill your shoes for your sons and daughters except you, so even though it would be easier to give up...Even though it would be easier to give in... And even though it would be easier to ignore the difficult things...It is still great to be a mom and to have been given the responsibility of loving and raising our children...If it were easy, it wouldn't really be such a huge honor to have been entrusted with the children that God gave us....So, when life seems overwhelming and being a mom seems like a job for someone else, remember that God chose you because He knew that you were the right woman for the job. Whether you gave birth to your sons and daughters or whether you were chosen to adopt your sons or daughters, He knew it would be you that would be pouring your life into your children. He knew, so He can be trusted to help you through any difficulties you might face as a mom.
We can trust Him. He can carry our burdens. He can help us be the best mom we can be.
