How to be a mom when you never had yours

This topic is a pretty big one for me. I honestly never ever thought I would be writing about this. But motherhood is a big deal for me and I’m in love with every minute of it. When I meet new people they are often confused at to how I could be a kind, patient and loving Godly mom since I grew up without my mom and didn’t have that and to that I would say, Holy Spirit.

There’s really no earthly answer for it. I too find myself in awe and grateful because I know that there is no other explanation other than God helping me and giving me the Grace I need and the wisdom I need to love my son and to cherish him and to teach him so patiently. This ones for you, mama friend. To the first time mom who fears that she may turn out like her mother, or not be a good one for the lack of… You can do this. Just lean into the Father. Learn what God is like for you and you will be able to give this kind of love to your child. Give your fears to God. He cares for you (1peter 5:7) This is where you begin: Prayer. Tell God what’s on your heart. What you fear. What you need help with. The kind of mother you would like to be. Then, listen to the Holy Spirits leading. Let him guide you. Stay in the word daily and let it transform you. And don’t forget, go easy on yourself. I know you don’t want to hear this mama, but you will make mistakes. It hurts us more than it hurts them and even in that, I give it all to God again. I trust him to heal and restore what I cannot. I lean on him to comfort me and my son after I’ve allowed anger to control my words. Own your mistake with your child and with God and move on. Guilt is not your friend. You can do this, I promise!
