Motherhood is the toughest job you’ve ever loved. It drains you and strains you, pulls you in all directions. It is also one of the most important jobs - and we can lose sight of that fact.
“MOM” pillow - Manager of Messes
“MOM” should be Molders of Mankind!
Seasons - there are different seasons/times in the life of a person and family
Things to remember:
- This is just a season, it won’t be this way forever
- You are not alone. Even if everyone else leaves you, God is with you!
You may not have the patience for each given day or situation, but God does! Prayer for the young mom - God, give me the patience for today; God give me the strength for today!
Important to:
- have a mentor mom
- have friends with kids of similar ages
Motherhood Motto - “Everything is Hard”
How should I handle hard?
- Victim - self-pity
- Angry - lash out at others
- Dependent on the strength of the Lord!
Warning to moms - it is easy to become isolated and alone. You need people. Start with looking for people you can help and start building quality relationships with godly moms.
The days are long, but the years are short. Embrace the moments and don’t miss them!
“Be Present” - wherever you are, but all there!
