Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had, and dealing with fears you didn't know existed.
A friend of mine posted this early on facebook. I read it once. I read it again. Then I read it a 3rd time. SO MANY truths are in this one sentence.
Being a mother is learning about strengths you didn't know you had-Perfect example, being a woman that has experienced the loss of her child-there is a strength that follows that burden. I can't tell you how many times, friends, relatives or people that just heard out story said " You have got to be the strongest person I know". Well, that's absolutely NOT the fact-believe me. In fact, I am very weak in this situation, but Ive been given the strength from somewhere to maintain my composure (most of the time) through this.
Dealing with fears you didn't know existed-Yea-that's 100% true. Everytime Isaac steps onto the soccer field (tonight is a PERFECT example) and takes fall after fall after fall because he gets kicked, held, elbowed or whatever, your worst fears are lingering about your childs safety. The first time Caleb went to school, all by himself-another fear. Any time those kids leave me sight, even for a second, my worst fears come to the surface. Things can happen so quickly-things DO happen so quickly-
When you go to the hospital, and learn youre losing your babies-there is a fear that any child bearing from that point forward, will have the same result. There is a constant fear that lingers around being a mother-There is always weakness, and with that weakness comes lots of strength also.
Great quote-Loved it!
