As certain challenges and needs (with my children) have come to me I often find myself being and feeling inadequate as a mother. I know that I am not nor will I be the perfect mother, but I do know that I LOVE my children with every ounce of my soul. I always have known that my Father in Heaven has loved me (even when I have been at the lowest of lows). I have always trusted his love for me, but nothing made it more evident than when I became a mother. I had never truly felt my own worth, but when I was pregnant with Karter I knew that I finally had worth. I knew that God trusted me to take care of this baby and love it like he does. It scares me sometimes knowing what a huge responsibility we have as parents, but I also know that Heavenly Father is right there every step of the way. I don't have all the answers when it comes to my children and their needs (I wish they would've come with their own manual:)), but I know that no matter what, my love for them will never stop growing. As long as they KNOW that they are loved then I will be able to work all the other stuff out. I love my kids and I wish we can have more because they teach me everyday and make me a better person everyday that they are here with me! So I may not be the perfect mother (although I strive to be) I know that someday my children will truly know and understand how much I love each and every single one of them!
