Stick to what you believe in. Self-discovery is so important in the journey of motherhood. I want you all to take rest in knowing you do not have to know it all and that is okay.
I was speaking with someone the other day, and I said I felt becoming a mother was the best and worst thing that could have happened to me. I felt it was the best thing because I was able to actually become a mother. I never would of thought I could love someone so much! I finally understood what it meant to be in unconditional love! This little baby is my everything.
The reason why I felt it was the worst thing that could happen to me is because I honestly wasn’t ready. I had my daughter when I was a teenager. According to the University Of Rochester Medical Center the rational part of a teen's brain isn't fully developed and won't be until he or she is 25 years old. Sooo I was 19! Lol, how am I honestly supposed to give this beautifully child a healthy happy life and I am not fully grown yet!!?? Yea see the problem?
I then struggled a lot with trying to be perfect. I tried to balance out a teenage life with an adult/parent life. I tried to do it ALL! I did not want to admit I did not know it all. (Something I am still working on) This turned into a true melt down and identity crisis! I was aggravated, stressed and confused, I love my baby, but I also have an urge to love myself and be young.
I am here taking rest in "I don't know it all". No one does ...and that is okay. We are all imperfect however we serve a perfect God.
The bible has tons of verses that lets us know that God cares for us! He will not give us more than we can bare! God wants us to cast all anxiety on Him because He cares for us. In Matthew 11:28 it says “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Let’s take God up on that offer, and pray that all of our troubles are not our troubles. God is faithful and he will provide. Trust God with your life, your troubles and your imperfect self. He has a perfect plan! Take rest!
