I have had a rough time lately. Wondering why Heavenly Father has blessed me with 4 children, 4 boys, including a set of twins. There are so many out there who would do anything to have one of their own. So why me???? I have had days that I can't do it. I get frustrated easily, my temper is quick, my home is out of whack, and love is the last thing I am thinking of. I just want to fall and cry. I want those feelings and thoughts to all go away. That person who doesn't have a child would do anything to hold one right now, and I just yelled at my three year old and told him to go to his room. Motherhood is the most difficult task I will ever complete. Why have I been chosen?
After a not so decent bed time routine, I went to the lds website
and found this wonderful message. It is only three minutes long, but I loved every second of it. The part I needed to hear the most is when Elder Holland says "the very fact that you've been given such a responsibility (referring to motherhood)is everlasting evidence of the trust you Heavenly Father has in you."
Heavenly Father knows what I am capable of. I just need to have the faith in him and myself to accomplish all that he has planned for me.
