Mothers,
As our responsibilities and character grow we go through different stages in life and motherhood. We can get caught up in our appearances, being popular, making good impressions, comparing yourselves to others, establishing ambition, wanting to make money, striving to be noticed, the list goes on. I have realized as we also start to grow we start to realize that our imperfections can also be beautiful. The struggles are on going. The imperfection is ongoing. The shame is ongoing. Many times we blow it and suck at motherhood. Times where we lost our temper, didn’t listen, judged, didn’t care to understand, didn’t care to take responsibility and simply had a bad attitude about it. It is a season of imperfection and struggle. All we can do is trust and remember our purpose. Imperfections can also be beautiful because that’s how we learn from our mistakes. We apologize, we forgive and we love. This is a season of growth within our children and within us. This is a season to be with our little ones while they need us. This is a season of growth to expand within our hearts. This is a season of learning to be vulnerable with others and within us. This is a season to ask for help when we need it. You are imperfect and wired for struggle and that is ok, more then ok. What our children truly want is to be with their own mother’s. Our babies just want us to be there with them, to enjoy the present moments together. Moms were created to make the simple moments feel special, raw and so real. You were created to cultivate love so it can deeply be seen and known. As we recognize our growth stages we can enjoy life more. We can realize motherhood is hard work; physically and emotionally. But the beautiful thing about motherhood it is so fulfilling. In the end like childbirth you don’t remember the pain. We just tend to remember the beautiful moments we had with our children. The first time you became a mother, when you first held your baby for the first time. The first time they smiled at you. The first time they started to crawl and walk. The first time thy said mommy or mommy I love you. Mothers you are your child’s whole world you are so deeply loved, incredibly strong and make a great change in our world. So mothers let us love our imperfect selves. We can only show love as much as we show it within ourselves. What we come to believe on the inside is what you will manifest on the outside. Mothers, let us not be afraid of our imperfections. Life with our children is meant to be felt deeply, softly, and wholeheartedly. Life is meant for imperfect mothers just like you and me.
