Motherhood is Kingdom work!!

 What is Motherhood? Is there one definition that fits all?

I don't think so. Let's say for example you come across two mothers with two kids each for the sake of keeping this simple with the same gender let's say boys. Do you think their experience was the same?

I bet they would say each of their own experiences was the hardest and as it is. Because each one of us as mothers go through a whole different experience, with each of our kids. Don't you think so? 

Let me explain. My kids are now in Elementary school, at least one is and the other one is going to be starting her schooling years. So, the time that I was raising little kids has gone past and I don't remember much of it but very faintly remember how my experience was so different with each one of them.

I know for many of the mothers they mothering instinct starts the moment they conceive. But it was different for me. You see for me my motherhood experience really started with my first miscarriage. I was this naive girl with no guidance and no support whatsoever so I would do what I wanted, drink coffee a lot etc. was the most negligent. And I do believe that resulted in my loss, but I don't blame myself, not today. But back then I was very very vulnerable. 

I distinctly remember the date I had that first ultrasound on July 1st and the ultrasound technicians couldn't tell me what was going on. And I don't think I thought much into it until I went to the doctor's office and the doctor said that I had a silent miscarriage. I had no idea what to do and just followed the instructions that she said to do, in terms of D and C form signing. The D and C was scheduled for one week later, but I miscarried naturally in my apartment by myself with a lot of pain, my husband had probably gone to get me medicine, and My brother was the one who took me to the hospital ER room. I don't remember much but after that ER room I had to again go through the D and C. 

But the time after that for three months I know I was so miserable. Despite being miserable I would take my prenatal supplements for the future and the disappointment that I felt was horrible to go through time and again. It was beyond anything I ever witnessed. And I thought that was worst but what I went through through my next two pregnancies externally with outside forces could have been far more damaging. I will talk about it sometime later but to stick to the topic.

Motherhood is not easy. Your world may be going upside down, but you have to keep doing what you think can be for the betterment of your offspring. So in a way it is equivalent to the amount of work that a king would put in creating a kingdom nurturing, strengthening ties with allies and keeping those with ill intentions away,

And all of us in whatever way we do as mothers try to do our best with whatever resources we have.

I hope you resonate with your inner self through this article. The intent is to feel powerful because you were created powerful by God. No one but mothers have the ability to create life from scratch. Not only that mothers are always on duty in and out when the kids are small, in her stomach, or when they are grown and adult even into old age. Embrace it. Be Empowered.
