Thoughts on Motherhood
Wednesday, July 25th, 2007 | Sara the Wife
I tend to over analyze most situations. I’m a planner and like to have everything organized and visualized before taking on important situations…kind of like a dress rehearsal. Why else would I “practice” teaching in the privacy of my own bedroom when I was a kid? I wanted to be prepared.
Over the last few weeks and months I’ve been thinking a lot about what it will be like to be a mom. I’m getting to the stage of my life when many of my friends are having children. I can’t imagine my life without children; it is one of the deepest desires of my heart. However, there is no dress rehearsal for motherhood.
I want to have it all figured out, but the more I think about having children, the more questions I come up with… Will our children be like us, or totally different? Will they love to learn as much as we do, or will school be a struggle for them? Will they be respectful, or challenge our every word? Will they grow to be the “shining lights” we pray they will be, or will they go their own way?
Ultimately, I know motherhood is a blessing. And, just as I commit each and every day to the Lord, leaning on Him to get me through difficult situations now, I will depend on Him to give me the wisdom and courage to be the mother He plans me to be in the future.
