Water Your Worth

Something well a good many things happen when a woman becomes a mother. I used to think I had a neat ability to zoom and also see beyond, to feel and see things more… then I became a mom and all of a sudden the capacity for experiencing everything has grown so much!

For instance. I can be doing one thing and know exactly what my child is getting in to before even asking or looking. I can be doing two things while also feeling the incredible need to pee and yet still give exact focus on what is most necessary. I am now able to scan an area of danger with just a glance while never leaving my child and always giving them confidence in me being there. Even as I teach, we might be doing an activity, stuck in traffic or in the middle of tending to something while also going over numbers, colors or some other specific learning simultaneously. I can sense when a dog we are caring for is on edge or needs attention and also use that to strengthen my child’s awareness…

I am just continually in awe in how our Father made all this and everything possible. How my heart and mind have expanded so much and yet there is this level of presence that I am only able to give credit to Christ for. There are times I have been working with my child in a situation that could have been high stress and yet we were having great success and I say, “Oh, thank you Lord!”.

Then there is that moment when rest takes place and all you really want to do is marvel at what is and has become… how is it all possible? It is more than remarkable when we pause and are able to take a real look at it which in turn just draws me closer to Him. Children are such a blessing and the role of mother is nothing to be taken lightly. While the laboring was meant for chastising the birthing and being is redeeming. This is where we get to know Him more and say, “Holy Holy Holy” as we are seeing a tiny bit through creation’s eyes.

Never boring, truly fascinating.
