Have you recently looked at your children and wonder how did you make it thus far in motherhood?
Being a mother of two children have showed me more about myself then anybody else. I have learned that its ok not to be supermom , that its ok not to know it all.
We tend to think mothers must have it all together and know everything. In fact it is not like that at all. We look at other moms and wonder how they get it right to be so hands on with everything they do. From the outside she look all powerful, all glamorous and in control.
What we dont know is that she is fighting battles no one knows about. Being a mom for a teenager and a toddler has its blessings more than the troubles.Yes we do have days where we feel like strangling each other. Sometimes you just want to break down and cry and never get up again. Other days you just cant stop laughing and cuddling and chilling.
Its the process we need to embrace. Each motherhood journey is diffrent I know eventhough there are many similarities. Its the things I learn about myself that make being a mother so beautiful.
Sometimes you dont recognise the person that is doing or saying things you thought you would never do or say. It is in this process that you become more aware of the flaws and imperfections within you. Its the oppertunities you start to see to grow in particular areas where you fall short.
If it were not for them I know I would have never saw it or even becoming aware of them.
Do you also treasure your children?.
Both my journeys with my two children were different. My son started living with me when he turnef10 years old and my daughter ever since she got born. There is a 13 year gap between them and it takes courage to navigate between the two.
We dont always get it right but as long as I am trying my best I know I am on the right path. Sometimes I literally dont know what to do,,and than I just hand over to God..Oh yes my Father who made it all possible in my life.
Because of Him I am the mother I am to my beautiful children.
In this life we cant maneuvere without God.We need Him so much and He need us to plant heaven on earth. To train our children in His ways.
The beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
WHAT YOU SEE IS WHAT YOU WILL HAVE.!!
Are you seeing a bright future for your kids or are you badmouthing them. Do watch what you speak over their lives. All power is the tongue. Whether it is life or death . What you say will come into manifestation.
Start speaking good things over you children even if you dont see it yet.
We are only stewards over our chiìldren and we should use the time with them with utmost intentionality.
I am becoming a mother who they will enjoy hanging out with when they feel like it.The one they can share all their dreams, desires with. I love them and would love them to know they matter . Regardless of what they did or say, they are mine to look after and at the same time I am taking care of God's children.
Children obey your parents and parents love your children. Be kind to them ..one day you will miss them deeply when they are no longer there.
