From one Mama to other Mama’s

I see you there Mama with your hair all a mess and clothes all misshapen. You were stretched in ways today that you thought could possibly break you. But sweet sister YHWH knows the battles, He knows the victories also. He sees everything and is walking there beside you.

“For everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under heaven” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).

Motherhood has it’s own seasons to which we must walk through. The season of infancy is one where the demand on Mama can be hardest. The baby requires 24/7 care from feeding, bathing, playing, dressing and changing. I see you sister, with the messy bun and sweat pants because that’s all you have energy for. The toddler season begins the start of the marathon training. You find yourself sprinting to scoop up your toddler from the chair he decided he would stand on. Constantly have your head and ears on a swivel because that mini human can be so fast to change places you would think they teleport. I see you Sister, with the exhausted expression and the love in your eyes for the kids.

Next is the independence age. The covers from 4 to 12 years old. You try so hard to let your kids do things on their own. This is also where if guided right the kids will flourish and grow into wonderful humans. They will need you less and less and you might find yourself missing their needy stage. Next comes the teen years. Mama this is where you need to buckle up for the ride. Your kid will want you to be a big part of their life one day and hate you because you said no to something the next. You will be best friends somedays and you think things are going great but then they refuse to speak to you. They have their friends and are gone a lot of the time. When they do come home to either eat or sleep their conversation is more grunts and groans then words. That is my experience with my son. Sister I see your heart as you pray for your child. You are the key to that child making it. As long as they have a mama to come home to they will.

I’m not really sure how the over 20 age group goes. But I do know something , that is if you teach your child during all the other years that they can depend on you when life gets rough then they should be able to make the best choices for them. Mama this is a stage where they still need you on their side but more at a distance. If we’ve done our jobs right they will flourish and fly.

But every stage of our journeys as Mama we need to make time to connect with other Mama’s. We need to stand behind those who are exhausted and struggling. Sisters in the faith and love. Social Media is full of lies and likes to criticize mama’s of all ages. The only one we have to answer to is our Father. If we are strong in our Faith walk and have a secure walk with Him then whatever life throughs at us we can overcome.

Share this with those who you are standing beside on the battle field with.

Hugs and Prayers Sisters.
