To all my fellow mother friends. There is only one job in the world that I would never sign up for on paper, that I willingly and happily do every single day... being a mother. Being a mom is one o f the hardest things that I have ever done. The hours are long, the pay stinks, you have to get down and dirty; really it's not easy. BUT it is by far one of the best things that I've ever done. Waking up every day seeing my two little mini-me's literally keeps me going. Getting to teach them about the world and shape them into little Christian men and women is literally an honor to me. It's weird, although a lot about it is hard and tiring, I really don't mind and wouldn't trade it for the world.
To my own mother who's job I didn't truly understand until I became one, I want to say THANK YOU for all the tireless hours and sacrifice you put in just to make us look good. I still haven't figured out how you did some things do well and I'm pretty sure my own kids won't be able to say that their mother was amazing at them, but I'm trying. I love you very much and I'm glad to say that you're not just my mom but you're my best friend!
Now, to my future mothers. Those of you wanting desperately to be a mom and it hasn't happened yet and those of you who just aren't there yet. Enjoy this phase of life! Motherhood is the BOMB, but it doesn't come without sacrifices. So, while you are in God's waiting room, don't fret over what you DON'T have (even though I know that's easier said than done), enjoy what you DO have: flexibility, freedom, downtime. Ask any mother, they would pay you for some of those things! So enjoy life now because when God says so it can change in the blink of an eye!
No matter what the situation I say, "Happy Mother's Day!"
Be blessed and be a blessing,
Kim
