They are worth it.

Motherhood is hard.
There isn’t anything I’ve found to be “easy” about it. ...sure, somethings make it easier but it’s still hard!
The days are long (some days are reaalllllly long) but man the weeks and years are short.
Motherhood is the wildest ride I’ve ever been on yet. It’s humbling and overwhelming yet so rewarding all at the same time.
As I have transitioned into motherhood it’s easy to have high expectations that come crashing down.
It’s easy to feel insecure like I don’t know what I’m doing....because well, I don’t know what I’m doing!
For me, motherhood is really just a guessing game. I get to guess what my child needs (because he can’t talk clearly yet—though he is working on it), I get to guess if I’ve made the right decision for him, I get to guess what he needs.
While all of this can be stressful and overwhelming. I am thankful for God’s grace. I am grateful for mommy friends who are willing to be open and honest about the real struggles in the motherhood journey.
Encouraging each other in motherhood can be a struggle....I’ve seen this struggle happen for years now, way before having a child of my own. It’s easy to get hung up on what “to do” and “not to do”.
However, at the end of the day, moms just need friends who will encourage them where they are at with their decisions and realize that each mom is making the best decisions for her child.
Here’s the thing we all know...No two children are alike, they are not cookie cutters...which means they all need different things and no two types of parenting will look alike ?
Remember, at the end of the day we get the honor and privilege of raising the next generation.
So hang in there mama friend. Find grace for today, for this minute.
And remember, they are worth it.
