One Tough Job

I’ve been thinking lately about how difficult it is to be a mom. We spend our time encouraging our kids in everything, whether it’s trying to get those cute little baby smiles, trying to get them to reach for us when they take their first steps or a “discussion” of how the word can’t does not exist in their vocabulary. We spend so much time encouraging and cheering and saying, “You can do it!” and then they step out on their own and we have to trust that God will see them through. Being a complete control freak, this is something I really struggle with. The only thing I know to do is pray for God’s will and remind myself the entire time that I have to let it go…God is in control.
