\"\"<\/a>Sometimes when I want to pull my hair out that things aren’t going my way, or I feel like I cannot do anything right, I stop and I take a deep breath and pray. God is so faithful in answering prayers. The reason I know this is because, I always wanted to be a mama. My husband and I tried for a very long time to have a baby. I was so beyond thrilled when I finally found out I was pregnant. He was born one month after our 12 year wedding anniversary. My son has been the greatest blessing I could ever ask for. He fills my heart to the brim with pure love. Time seems to be flying by now that I am a mom. I wish it would slow down. I try and savor the little things.
\n He makes me laugh until my stomach hurts. He makes me love until my heart feels like it can explode. One of the best days I have ever had was recently, it was a day when we were shopping at Target and all of a sudden he bursts into a song he made up….. He started singing “spectacular mama, spectacular mama, spppppecccccccaaaacularrrrrr maaaaammma, hmm hmm hmm. I about cried! It was the sweetest thing ever. He was singing it at the top of his lungs and all the shoppers in the aisles were smiling and listening. I don’t want to ever forget moments like this. I want to savor it always.
\n So when I feel like I am a failure, I can’t be as good as others, I am not a good enough person, I am not talented enough, I will try and remember the one thing I can do right is be a loving mom. I am good enough, I am blessed. I have God’s amazing grace to be in awe of. At the end of the day, I just hope I can be a spectacular Mama. \"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
