Thank You

I have been meaning to thank all my friends that have blogs. You are so genuine and honest. You share your good days and bad days, your fears, guilt's and failures. I have learned so much about myself by reading your blogs. There are times when I stop and think if I really want to post something because I don't want people to judge me or think less of me and at the same time when others post their "realness" I am so encouraged by it. I don't think less of any of you, in fact, I think more of you. That you can be open and share what is happening in your life without pretenses. I have such an amazing group of friends and I want you all to know that I thank God for you often.

It amazes me how woman are so alike. We are not the first woman to have babies and become moms, we are not the first to fear our children won't develop "on time" (when is that anyway?) and we certainly wont be the last. Our insecurities as moms aren't new and I guess there is something about knowing that, that helps me minimize the time I spend dwelling on my fears and insecurities.

I won't be a perfect mom and my kid(s) wont be perfect either, but it is the process of learning and trying to do our best that matters. We don't need to spend our time comparing ourselves or our kids, and I'm so thankful my group of friends doesn't' do that, but we help each other in the stage of life we are in. So again, thank you friends, for being godly mothers and wives and encouraging me in my endeavour to be the same.
