Today marks the 3rd year I have been able to claim “mommy” as title on Mother’s Day. A title I don’t take lightly. Who am I that God has entrusted me two little miracles to raise, to guide, to shape and mold? To be honest, some days I am terrified I am screwing up, “Did I let them watch too much TV? Was I too harsh disciplining her for throwing a Costco size bag of pretzels all over the floor? Did she get enough vegetables today? Did I handle that question right? Are they going to remember this when they are 18? Am I doing a good job?” Its in those moments that I have to be reminded that all the little things don’t matter…we were meant to be. My babies were handpicked for me and I for them. God knew I was just what they needed and they are just what I needed- flaws and all. I can find peace and rest from worry in this truth. What an honor it is to be chosen to guide these beautiful souls. I am a blessed mama. Happy Mother’s Day to all you amazing mommies today. Let go of all guilt and fear of failure and enjoy your babies, knowing they were handpicked for you and you for them.
