Five Minute Friday: Mom

Secretly, I wondered if I would ever be a mother. I questioned if I would be trusted to care for children of my own. I doubted it. I doubted I would be able to love. I doubted I would be able to understand them. I doubted I would be equipped.   

Now, I am a mom. Not only a mom, but a mom of two girls.  The secret that resided in my heart. The Most High always knows my secrets. Or maybe my secret was a glimpse of a promise He was revealing to me.

I am grateful to be a mom. I've learned to love. I've grown more understanding from the lack of being understood. I am still not equipped on my own, but I am not on this journey alone.  

Today I am thankful to be called Mommy.
