I have been a Momma since 1988, wow that is a long time. And I truly understand the scripture that says women will be saved through childbearing.
But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
~ 1 Timothy 2:15
Another time I will share what I mean by that, but for now I will say that the Lord used my becoming a Mother in not only a Holy way but in truly an eternal, life changing, amazing way. It opened my eyes to His Kingdom. And my favorite life scripture has always been,
“Here am I, and the children God has given me.”
~ Hebrews 2:13
If there is anything I ever wanted to be found faithful at, it is Motherhood. Because I consider my children such a gift from Him. A gift of grace from the King of Kings Himself.
And yet it is also the thing I feel a fail at so often. Things go wrong, other people interfere, and I get frustrated. Things so often are just not as they should be. My heart hurts when my children’s hearts hurt, life is not fair. People are rude.
Just this week one of my sons was in a public place and some idiot guy thought it was cool to use very foul cuss words in front of him, all guys talk that way right? No, wrong. Terribly wrong. Momma Bear gonna take your head off wrong. Oh my, proof there is a real God is the fact that I have never physically hurt anyone who has done my children wrong.
Can you hear it? Can you tell how passionate I am about raising my children? So serious in fact that sometimes I forget the simplicity of love. Back up, slow down, enjoy the journey. And then the Lord drops this in my life. A young momma I do not know. Reminding me that motherhood is all about simply loving them. And being grateful. Loving Him and loving them. It really is so simple. And so often forgotten. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did. She gave me permission to share it here.
[…] loving those babies and Mommas’ hearts […]
