My friend Kelly recently shared a link to an encouraging article. Becoming a mom is life changing in so many incredible ways, but we all have challenging days. Sleepless nights, cranky babies, whinny toddlers...it's bound to happen.
For me, becoming a mom was, and continues to be amazing. But with that came challenges too. I began to see more of my own pride and selfishness sneak out. There are days when I just want to sleep in and be lazy. I realized my dependence on prayer and the need to find strength in Christ.
We are surrounded by culture and media, and so much of this tells us where we find our worth and success. I can't actually recall the last time something in the media encouraged me about my calling as a mother.
I'm thankful for articles like this. Godly women who share and encourage us in our walks with Christ and as we become moms.
I hope you will find encouragement as well!
