What I've learned is that Motherhood is definitely a journey not a destination. When I became a mother, I think it was something I wasn't ready for and certainly nothing could prepare me. Motherhood changed my life in the most beautiful way. When my baby was born, I was working full time and intended to go back. However, I still felt the urge to want to stay home with my baby and continue to work to help provide. It wasn't until 9 months later that I realized how depleated, tired, and stressed I was from trying to do everything all at once. It was then that I decided that I'd be a SAHM. This wasn't an easy decision but it was the best decision. I reflect back to that decision and it was five months ago. I definitely do not regret it because I've grown more attached to my little one. I think that society now a days makes mothers feel guilty for wanting to stay home but there is nothing with staying home. Mothers play an important role when children are developing and overtime I have realized how important that is. You see, I didn't have the best childhood growing up. I know my parents tried the best that they could with what they had but I went through a lot of trauma. I was always aware that I didn't want to pass the trauma on to my children. I wanted to do better for them.
Being a mother also propelled me to my purpose and having a closer relationship to God. Through my journey of becoming a more connected person to God, it has allowed me to trust His understanding and not my own. Sometimes we can't understand things through our perspective but just know that God always has something more planned for us. If you too, are going through a challenging time; I ask you, how can you slow down? How can you give to yourself as well?
