I’m starting to wonder if our children weren’t really sent to “raise” US. If you look up the definition of “raise,” the word actually means to lift to a higher position, or to increase the amount of strength.

You see, I never saw myself as a mom. I was never suppose to have children! With PCOS, Endometriosis, a closed Fallopian tube and advanced maternal age, my first was a complete surprise and my second, well, that was just comical.

The last 2.5 years, I have watched my body do miraculous things, somehow survived breastfeeding, discovered a supernatural level of patience and love, acquired a wisdom and intuition that I never had before, and have learned (am learning) to pick my battles wisely. I also found that sometimes, I need to open my mind and try new things, new strategies, that I never believed in before.

ALL OF THE THINGS I SAID I WOULD NEVER DO AS A MOM…. well, sometimes it’s a matter of sanity… and survival! And I’m ok with that.

ALL OF THOSE CRAZY CRUNCHY, OILY & NATURAL HEALTH MOMMAS… yeah, they have encouraged and inspired me to open my heart to a new mom superpower… healing our babies naturally.

I am so so grateful that my Heavenly Poppa chose ME to be “raised” to new places by these two beautiful angels of mine. I experience MORE OF HIM in every tiny kiss, every poopy bottom and every sleepless night. With each uncomfortable moment, I am stretched and strengthened to withstand more than I ever thought possible.

Thank you, Poppa, for increasing my capacity to experience Your Love this side of heaven
