Letters to Moms Out There…

Letters to Moms Out There…

dearnewmomI’ve been a mom now for 12 years. Some women would say, “that’s it!” Yet there are others that would say, “Wow! That’s a long time!” That how I feel. At times, it is hard to believe that I’ve been a mother this long. It is such a blessing.

Every year, I try to think about how I can help a new mother or a mother that has been mothering for less time than I have. I have learned some lessons, both easy and hard. This year, I am deciding to write a series of letters to the new mother. By new, I mean a mom that has been mothering for 5 years or less. This mom could also be a mom that recently had a baby and feels like she is starting over again.

I say that, but I think that this can benefit any mom. I am still being encouraged by my past and current revelations.

Why am I doing this?

I am writing these letters because, I used to want to be a perfect mom. I didn’t want anyone to see my mistakes. (You know I made them, right?!) I didn’t want to ask for help. (You know I had to ask right?!) I was afraid. (I still am at times, but I trust God with this.)

Honestly, I feel like I’ve hidden long enough and I’m about to let the cat out of the bag…

I don’t know how else to put it.

I used to want to be the mom that was “super.” Then I realized that if I was super, there would be no need for a Savior, because I wouldn’t need help… and what a huge lie that is. Now, I won’t allow anyone to call me “super mom.” I’m a mom, just like you…

I live, I mess up, I learn, I get better…

Ureka! That’s my why!

I want another mom to know that its perfectly fine to make mistakes…you can’t learn if you don’t.

No that laundry isn’t ever going to be done…unless we stop wearing clothes. I don’t think anyone wants that. 🙂

Yes, you may have been punctual and consistent before and now you’re not. Give yourself some room to breath. God knows what life is like for you and He doesn’t hold any of your slip ups against you.

Through these letters, I want to tell, show, and encourage you simply be your best…

Give life your all…

Don’t hold back…

Don’t be afraid…

Trust God…

AND BREATH!!!
