Sometimes I feel like my kids are the reward for all the things I actually got right in this world. So many times I have felt like a failure, plans don’t go as planned and it feels like set back after set back at times, but not with them. They are happy, they are healthy, and they are succeeding in school. They are not perfect, but they couldn’t make me any happier. Being a Mom is the hardest yet most rewarding job. You constantly ask yourself if you are screwing them up but at the same time feel so much joy when they have completed a milestone in their life. So many are quick to pass judgement about one’s parenting, but there are still good people out there that still compliment and help instead of hinder. It’s hard enough being a parent, but when you have to deal with people critiquing every move you make, it can make it harder. If you can, be a light for someone, it could make there day, it could give them the confidence they’ve needed. We need more LOVE in this world like never before. I may not have accomplished everything I had planned by this time, but just sitting and talking with my children about what they would like to do in this world is far more beneficial to me then dwelling on what I haven’t accomplished. I know now that my life has gone exactly the way God has intended, and at times it may be hard to keep that faith, but the strength always finds a way.
