Mother's Day is often a hard day for many women. Maybe they have lost their mom, lost their child, have never had a child, or have pain from their mom. I am close to my mom, but learned through infertility that Mother's Day is hard. I didn't struggle with it as much as others do, but again that is something that is individualized. As a mom I see Mother's Day as another day to thank God for giving me Emma, for if He hadn't I wouldn't be a mommy.
God chose me to be her Mommy - how awesome is that. He trusts me to raise His child, to care for her, to love her as He loves her, and to be a difference in the world. I see that as such an amazing blessing, and never want to take that for granted. Emma changed my life, and changed me. I do not see the world like I used to, and I am not how I was.
Garth Brooks sings a song about his mama, and I cry every time I hear it. I have posted a link to the video below.
The other link is to Kenny Chesney's Wild Child song. One of my best friends sent this to me saying it was about me and Emma. Of course now every time I hear it I begin crying.
While I am so honored to be a mommy, I still find myself not posting a lot on Mother's Day because I know other women are aching and hurting wanting this same title. God has a plan for their life just as He did for me. We have to trust the plan. Proverbs 3:5 trust the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding.
