Motherhood

Who helped you take your first steps? What about tie your own shoe?

It was your mom.

This is my mom, Kathy. If you know my momma, you know she can do ANYTHING from marathons to building anything to a house.

Every time I watch a video or a little and tender interaction with a mother and her child, I can't help but choke up a little inside. Motherhood has always been something I hold so near and dear to my heart. The one thing I have always wanted to be is a mother.

I was blessed with the best mother I could ever ask for. No one wanted to be a mom more than my mother did. She had to wait 5 long years to adopt her first child and also another 10 years to adopted my twin brother and I. She wanted 12 kids when she married my father, but with how hard adoption was because they couldn't have their own kids, they were blessed to adopt 4 kids.

Motherhood is very sacred. Motherhood is a partnership with God. It is the "highest, holiest, service assumed by humankind. It's the definition of selfless service. It's both a daunting responsibility and a glorious opportunity. The divine role of motherhood is a git from God, and key to His plan of happiness for all His children."

My mom is always there for me. I seriously don't know where I would be without my mother. She is the definition of my best friend. We do everything together, she is my personal therapist, my workout buddy, my fashion advice, my road trip partner, and the reason behind my Diet Coke addiction.  If Heavenly Father did not bless me with my mother that I have today, I seriously would not be the person I am today.














My mom always tried to be there for us. She always made sure that she was home when we got home from school to ask our day was. She was always trying to help us be our best self and she never failed. She inspires me to be a mother and person just like she is. She has accomplished so many things in her life because of her dedication, motivation, and just simply just because of the person she is.



Julie A. Beck describes my mother perfectly in the quote, and I'm sure many other mothers in this world today:

“THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT A MOTHER CAN ACCOMPLISH. RIGHTEOUS WOMEN HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO.”

I am so grateful for mothers. It makes me want to be a mother and I am so excited one day to join in on that. Mothers are special and one of a kind, and there is no one like them!
