When I am physically challenged and emotionally reactive while trying to be the mother I want to be. Even though I’m excited to meet this precious life that will join our family, I’ve walked ...

My {in process} Story
Thank you for sharing honestly about the challenges of a newborn and motherhood. As a mom whose youngest child is turning 22 in February I am here to remind you:
“This too shall pass.”
Take it one day at a time, organize to spend individual time with each child every week, and before you know it they will be grown. Like me you will have the sweetest memories and so much gratitude and joy for having made it through to a time when you can share your life with your favorite people in the world: your adult children who are fully functioning in the world on their own.
God’s will be done on earth as it is in heaven,
Mary
Great post! thanks for your honesty. I’ll be praying for you these next couple months and the transition for you and your family. Looking forward to keeping up with you and your blog. Hang in there sister!
Beautiful reflections, Heather. Give us joy and contentment, Lord!
I have so been there. What I can promise you is that when you can’t take another step – He will be there. You will love this little one madly. You will find the end of yourself and then Him. You will breathe in and out. Grace will cover you. And it will be just as He plans it.
Heather, you are beautiful inside and out. You are an inspiration and God is pleased with you I am sure for humbling yourself as you minister to so many of us. Thank you for sharing your heart and struggles.
Even with only just had my second baby, I have had these thoughts. Mix that with crazy hormones and recovering from delivery, let’s just say God forced me to turn directly to Him. I needed it and I also needed to read your post today. What a joy our children are, but as you have said before, parenting is part of our mission field and it can be challenging at times. I have thought of you often since O’s birth. I love and admire you for adding to God’s kingdom.
Parenting is such a humbling role isn’t it? We adopted our son and I felt some of these same things. Thank you for sharing your heart.
