A little bit ago I was at a lower point and thinking to myself. My mom has four children; a Director of sales, a Doctor, a State Trooper, and me: a mom. I'm not anything, I don't have any big accomplishments to my name. What have I done with my life and my name? I got a degree, but am doing nothing with it. I'm just a mom, and there is nothing that I can ever do to change that now. I started to cry then a familiar warm tingling like feeling filled my soul, and I heard very clearly "I trust you." "Love them like I love them and you."
I get to spend every day with my children, all my brothers have to leave and go to work. Yes they have great jobs and are supporting their families. In my biased opinion though. I have the best, hardest, and highest paying job of all them. I am responsible for teaching and rearing my children. I get to see the first step, and hear their first words, I cry with them, I cry for them, I see them struggle and get to help, sometimes helping is letting them struggle too. All those milestones and hardships I get to share and enjoy with them. My children know I love them and will ALWAYS be there for them. I get to have the magic of kissing a 'owwie' better. Even when my three year old says to me "I don't like you" and I say "I still love you." and he responds "I know mom, you always will." It's those little, sometimes hard things, that remind me its worth it. I am their mom, and the Lord had entrusted me with them. I will never retire! I will always be known as A MOM!
I cherish being a mom and it is all worth it
I am magnificent, and even in the most challenging days I will rely on my Heavenly Father for the blessings that he sees fit to bless me with and to witness.
