The first steps into motherhood are the most difficult steps. There is so much that is required from creating the balancing act of life to making many sacrifices. Having another life to be responsible for is stressful at times because you often wonder if you are doing the right things. The wrong things? Are you corrupting their minds? This is not an easy task to take on at all. Your main objective is to keep your child happy and in the light of God at all times. God loves children because they are pure of heart, and their love is so open! I have raised 3 children and I am currently raising another one. The 3 I have raised are brilliant children. They can read, write tie shoes, do math, and other things. Motherhood is a calling everyone answers at one point in their lives from actually birthing to becoming a nun. Motherly instincts start to slowly kick in after awhile because you are going to do what is best for your child. They say you never really experience love until your first born is placed in your hands, and this special bond between a mother and her child is so unique, and you never want to let go. .Isaiah 49:15“Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you." When you are around your child try and be as active in their lives as possible because you only get one opportunity to physically be there, and being there as much as possible. Children are a blessing. They will take care of you in your old age, and they keep you so youthful! You have the perfect opportunity to become everything you wanted your parents to be. I cant wait to see Cori grow up year by year into the respectable young man Daveon and I will raise him to be. The love of God will always remain in our family, and His presence will never leave.
