haha so creepy.
Ok, my beautiful people. I will tell you a story. One day, I was going crazy because I had no idea what to do with my life. My brother, Justin, told me "Make a goal and then choose something that will get you there" Ok, done. I wanted to be a mom. Like, you know, a mother. Think what you will, that I'll just make sandwiches in the kitchen all of my life.I know it's much more than that. So, holler to all of the momma's out there. I think you are pretty great.
In lieu of Mother's day, I will explain WHY motherhood is soooo stinking important. Because, it is THE most beautiful, best, important thing I will ever do.
This basically sums it up.
"There is eternal influence and power in motherhood." // Sister Beck
Because, when my baby is born into this world, I want to be the one there to love them, and nurture them, care, teach, encourage them.
"To nurture means to cultivate, care for, and make grow. Therefore, mothers who know create a climate for spiritual and temporal growth in their homes." // Sister Beck
It's a forever partnership with my Heavenly Father to help raise this little person to return to Him. I want my children to know that they are loved by God and they are His child. That their potential is incredible and that this life can be the most happy when we follow our Savior. I want them to feel confident. I want them to feel that they ALWAYS have someone; their papa and momma :) And that home is a place of refuge and safety and happiness. I NEED to be there for them. All of you mommas who have sacrificed to raise children, you are AMAZING. You are of infinite worth, and I know the Lord appreciates and loves what you do.
Just watch this video, already. You'll love it.
P.s. if you've seen this woman, tell her I am forever grateful she's my mom :) For my siblings she raised with me that I love so much, for choosing my Asian daddy that I love, and for raising me in the true church. Love her forever.
