Devotional inspiration for Moms Are you a mom struggling to manage after being sequestered, social distanced and masked due to this CO-VID 19 pandemic with feelings, at times of being overwhelmed, toppled with despondency and despair?” Then this instant inspiration is for you!!! “Hang in there, girl, I stand with you and am cheering for you!!! You are more of a superhero than you know coming up with innovative ways to parent, play and educate all the while managing your own personal world professionally, and at times, virtually. So go on girl, with your awesome self, and by God’s grace, you will finish well. The decision to become a mom can feel like a ‘wild’ one at times. I didn’t even know who I was or what I was doing, and no amount of reading, ‘What to do in the 1st 24months’ could have ever prepared me for what was to come in the form of feeling at times, overwhelmed, amid meal preps, laundry pile-ups, temper tantrums, teething bouts, spit-ups running fevers and doctor’s visits. So, take heart my dearest sister, you are not alone. And even if you had it all together when you first got pregnant, having a child, can still rock your very world as you once knew it. But I say today, “it’s all going to be okay,” as was once shared with me by a very close friend. At times, it may all appear to be seemingly insurmountable circumstances. I just want to encourage Moms all around the world that they are not alone and that all things are possible as we encourage each other throughout our mom journey.
