When Jeanett first asked me to write this post I thought she was cray
cray. ME? The girl who hasn't blogged since...ahem December? And then I
heard a small voice say, yes You. You have something to impart to
other Moms. And then another voice began to argue with that voice. A
back and forth discounting worth and wisdom. It's a game I like to
play. It's called talk yourself out of anything that temps the
boundaries of your comfort zone. I purposefully have yet to read the
other contributions, because I knew I would lament about whether or not I
measured up to these other Moms. Moms who I've journeyed with for
years. Some knowingly some unknowingly. I've mourned with, prayed for,
laughed til I cried, jumped with joy, all the while carrying them in my
heart.
So as I pondered this concept Jeannett
proposed, What The Baby Books Don't Tell You, my first thought was oh no
what in the world do I talk about.....I never read those books. You
see my husband and I were welcomed into parenthood by a beautiful baby
boy as teenagers and unmarried. He 18 and I 20, were young and in love
and barely able to manage a check book. Okay let's be honest, we
couldn't do that, so why in the heck were we bringing another human
being into this world? What I've learned over the last twelve years of
mothering is His plan is greater no matter the decisions we make to muck
it up. He is good, all the time, no matter what.
