How many times do you go through a day as a mom, wondering things like:
- Am I really making a difference in my child’s life?
- Will I ever get my own life back?
- What’s the point in all this stuff called motherhood?
- Do I really matter?
While it’s easy to get stuck in the minutia of daily living with children, Faith and I wanted to give you a small glimpse into the future–a little picture of how you really do make a difference in the life of your children.
Certainly, I can remember days when I thought bedtime would never arrive and times when I just wanted to be left alone. But by being faithful and doing the things I knew I needed to do, I have received blessings and treasured moments.
I wouldn’t trade being a mom for anything. And who knows? Maybe you are in the process of raising children who will become some of your best friends as adults. That’s what happened for me.
