Finding Joy in Motherhood

Since becoming a mama , there is one thing that my heart desires ; and that is to find true joy in every moment I have with my children and my husband.

I’ve always prayed for joy, that kind that does not waver because of circumstances that challenge and can rock our inner peace.

Becoming a mother has been the greatest blessing and honor. It has also become the greatest tool to teach me about true Joy, that joy I always prayed about.

You know, God has a way of humoring us . I often giggle when I sit down and think about all the prayers I send over his way and in return get a good challenge . I want my children to see the joy I have that can only be found through our Lord Jesus Christ, that kind of joy that isn’t constantly changing but is still no matter the circumstances.

I can recall the early weeks and months of motherhood to be the most challenging emotionally and physically. I had very little sleep and adjusting too so many changes, I was exhausted. It was hard to find joy in those moments that felt like survival .

Yet our Gracious Father , gently provided that joy in me. That joy , is what propelled me to get through those hard moments.

Being a mother has showed me that I have the opportunity everyday to choose to find joy. There are so many moments throughout our day to be joyful whether its cooking a meal, doing laundry , changing a diaper, or handling a tantrum , every day we have the choice to choose joy.

My prayer is that today , you too will choose to find joy in whatever season of motherhood your in.
