Motherhood. To me motherhood is more than a part of my life. Motherhood is my vocation and it is the focus of my life. Everything I do revolves around being the best mother I can be and providing the best life possible for my son. It is not merely my job to raise my son, but it is my purpose. It impacts every aspect of my life and I try to make educated decisions that will protect and guide my child toward a happy, healthy life. My passion for motherhood is driven by my love. Love for God and in turn, love for this beautiful creature with which he has blessed me. I am often overwhelmed by my inadequacy and my desire for perfection, but as the dishes pile up and my son moans of teething pains I try to remain present to him and simply give him the comforting love he craves.
As he sweetly snores next to me, dreaming peacefully, I am struck by what a blessing he is and how perfectly he reflects beauty. And yet, as he wakes it is time to return to the demands of entertaining this ever-curious strong-willed child.
