Motherhood

Lately I have been thinking a lot about motherhood and how beautiful it is. Maybe because mother's day is coming up :) The older I get the more and more thankful I am to have such an amazing mother.  I'm so thankful for all the other amazing moms out there too! I love the stage I'm in and I'm definitely am not ready for kids yet... but wow, I love to daydream about being a mom someday. Don't get me wrong, I know it's going to be a ton of work and so exhausting, but I'm so excited to have little babies. One thing I love to do is go on pinterest and look at cute pictures of adorable babies and kids. The thought of being the one responsible of my own kids one day is a little scary, but amazing. I hope I'm half the mom that mine was to me. I want to be the best mother I can be. I want to instill in my children to think of others and be selfless. I want to teach them about this world we live in. I want them to know that they are important and so so loved. I want them to know that they have so much potential and to always chase after their dreams. I want to teach them to cook, be creative, clean, serve, pray, explore, and to have fun. I always think how child birth is such a miracle. It is so beautiful. I hope someday I can experience it! And enjoy the ups and downs of motherhood.

Sometimes I feel so overwhelmed by all the things I need to work on and be better. As I was thinking about this walking into work one day the scripture Ether 12:27 popped into my mind.

And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then I will make weak things become strong unto them.

I LOVE that!! It gives me hope that I can accomplish all things if I truly rely on the Lord.
