The story. I’m a mom of three who has spent so much of my time as a mother drowning in the hard, worrying about what I’m going to do with the rest of my life, navigating the information overload and societal demands, and quite simply, spinning.
It wasn’t until recently when I really started praying and self reflecting on this that I realized I’m literally smack dab in the exact place I waited my entire life to be. A wife, a mother, all the things. I just couldn’t see it, be all in on it, truly feel it, through all the hard.
Oftentimes I found myself thinking that if it could just dig my way out of this hard and into something else, I would feel better. When in reality what I needed to do was focus on the now. With gratitude, but more importantly, grace for myself.
He led me to this exact place. I’m here for a reason. And his a plan is continuing to work in me every day, even if I can’t see it.
Now I’m not here to tell you that motherhood shouldn’t feel hard, because it will. But it’s also so beautiful if you open your eyes to it. So what I want you to hear is that it’s ok to just stop and breathe. To allow yourself to be in this moment, completely and unapologetically, the “right now” you. To give yourself grace in those times when guilt strikes. To remove any unnecessary pressure you have on yourself, surrender and trust. To hold tight, mama. Because it’s going to pass you by, and you don’t want to miss it.

I created this line to remind you of this message, daily 🤍
