Welsh Family 2012 |
Mother's Day has not always been a day of celebration for me. 8
years passed and every Mother's Day I cried. I sobbed tears of heartbreak
and prayers begging for my desire to be fulfilled. Infertility can make Mother's Day painstaking for many. The journey is part of the beauty of where I am today. You see, motherhood comes different for some. Now I am a "mother" to many.
11 years ago I became Mom to 8 different little ones who walked into my house and then back out through foster care. 10 years ago, 2
bundles knocked at my door and stayed through adoption. 5 years ago, 2 more little lives walked into
my life and stayed through marriage.
Over the last 3 years, I've taken into my heart 3 beautiful daughter's to sponsor from Malawi, Africa and 2 remain under my financial; prayer care. A year ago, I ministered at a Crisis Pregnancy Center and now get to watch the life of 1 bundle of joy whose mama choose to bring him into this world because of God's words through me.
Each child impacts me in a different way. I impact each child in a different capacity. The impact is the same....
Motherhood
This Mother's Day, I cry again. My life is full, overflowing with activity, sacrifice, prayers, guidance, laughter, tears, and consistent discipleship of many.
