I have a confession, an appology, and a question. First I must confess that after I posted this blog, I felt a little guilty. Something occured to me that didn't at the time of writing. I am not a mother!! DUH! But the reason I say this is because, me not being a mother, does that make it wrong for me to have written about motherhood, and children? Which brings me to my appology, I am sorry if I have come across assuming that things really aren't hard being a mother. Which brings me to my question, does that mean that because life is hard, and because being a mother really is a full time, intense job that it gives you the right to be selfish, and still believe that your life really is about you, and not your children? And let your bitterness harbour inside your heart, to the point where it floods the lives of your children, and your husband.
I also want to point out that, although it says otherwise in my blog, I know that the 3 women I mentioned are not saints. And have days, that they don't get along with their kids, and do feel like they can't do it anymore. But this is the difference between those 3 women (and many of you women, and amazing moms) and the mothers I saw on TV. Grace. I believe that as Christian women/mothers/sisters/daughters/friends that there is a place in our hearts that God covers with Grace. With the ability to have a strength unlike any other, and the humbleness to admit that we are wrong, or need help. The fact that we can go to the throne of God, and ask for his help, and forgiveness. I know that you Bonnie, Heidi, Jen, Stacey, Christy, Misty, Dawn have rough days, and that I am not one to sit here, and point fingers, or judge, or say that you are all perfect. Because in reality, none of us are. I don't want to put a point across and make it fake, or false. But this I do know. You are AMAZING women, mothers, and friends. I watch you with your families, your children, and your husbands, and I know that is the way the Lord intended families to be.
When I wrote that blog this was my intention; to prove that children are a blessing. The Lord said it, and wants it to be that way. But there is room for Grace, and for days when you want to rip your hair out. That the world has twisted so many of the good things in the world. But now childen? So again, I appologize if it offended anyone in thinking that it's a holiday to be a mother, but you all are doing an amazing job.
