I absolutely love being a mom to my three kids. It is one of the best gifts I could have ever received from the Lord. It is definitely one of the most challenging roles but also one of the most rewarding. I have met a few people who have said they have always wanted to be a mom since they were little, but that wasn't me. It wasn't until I became one that I knew it was a dream come true. I wouldn't trade it for anything, even during the most heartwrenching seasons.
We are currently navigating through one of those seasons — lots of twists and turns and no straight and easy paths. And to make it worse, I have to remain on the sidelines and just pray. My instinct is to rescue and save them, but I know it's in their best interest not to. As much as I wish I could take the burdens from them and carry them myself, I don't because if I do, it will only hinder them from their breakthrough and delay their revelation. Even though I know without a shadow of a doubt this will ultimately strengthen them and prepare them for more remarkable outcomes, it is heartbreaking.
I believe they're at their tipping point of breakthrough. They're at their point of complete surrender, relinquishing control and asking for help and prayer. My mama's heart could not be more proud to witness this stage of vulnerability and the cry for help. The focus is no longer on what they can do but on what God will do. To trust the Lord and believe who He says He is is all I can hope for. I remain yielded and committed to Jesus to take care of His children. He had already ordained their steps, so who am I to worry? (I wish I could say I don't, but that would be a lie.☺)
Our current timeline will be one of the first I will be giving thanks for during our Thanksgiving celebration. I know His handprints are all over it, and it will end up victorious.
