I WASN’T MADE TO BE A MOM….. Aly Taylor
…I learned that being a mother is not who I was made to be. That is not who I am. Because you see, being a mother describes me, but that is not me.
And being a mother isn’t about me anyway. This thing called motherhood is not for me to feel fulfilled. Yes, it often does not. But being a mother is not to fulfill me. Yes, it fulfills me in many ways, but that was never its sole purpose.
Oftentimes, when mothers are asked, “Who are you?”, we respond with “a mom” or “a wife” or “a teacher”–whatever “role” we have.
THIS IS WHO YOU REALLY ARE…
I AM: determined, strong, a child of God, beautiful in God’s eyes, the righteousness of God in Christ, blameless, goal-oriented, an overcomer, a survivor,, loving, a wife, faithful friend, a daughter, a niece, hardworking, peacemaker, fun-loving, encouraging, joyful…
I AM A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD.
Before my calling of being a wife, before my calling of being a mom, before my calling of being a therapist, speaker, writer,etc., I am called to be His– A child of God.
Remember your first and highest calling. Share with your kids what you were made to be. HIS CHILD
