If a woman loves motherhood, shes “not being real”. If a woman hates motherhood, shes “just speaking reality”. At some point we (women without children) should reject this narrative completely before we unknowingly adapt it as our own and then experience it for ourselves because the power of life and death is in the tongue. I believe there is IMMENSE power in what we speak as women, and immense power in what we accept as truth without questioning. If we abopt this negative narrative about motherhood as truth, we will walk in it. You live what you accept, you walk in what you dont push back on. Hear me, i am by NO MEANS saying that motherhood is not hard, and i am not by ANY stretch of the means suggesting that women should suppress struggle or isolate in the hardship that it brings instead of talking about it. I am simply saying that theres a place for it, and theres a way to express it. Go to Jesus first, go to your mentors, go to your sisters, speak the truth of your experience in love. Ask for prayer, and be determined not to let your bad day turn motherhood into a bad experience in totality. Im saying that as a woman who is so excited about being a mom, seeing other women talk about motherhood as the worst experience of their lives places a feeling of impending doom on what is supposed to be one of the biggest blessings of your life. I will not accept it as truth, but i know that SO many women do. I KNOW that there are women out there who simply LOVE motherhood, who notice its hardships, yet meditate on its blessings. Who speak life over their children, who speak life into younger women who are praying for, or are expecting children. And not as a cover up, but as a genuine expression of their beloved reality. I personally, would love to hear from those women more. More videos, more conversations, more encouragement. If you are one of those women, would you please drop your experience in the comments for the rest of us to be encouraged by? We need more of those stories online. And if you know any creators who post about positive motherhood journeys, please drop their usernames so we can all follow and be encouraged! 🤍 This scripture says it all. “Let your reasonableness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.” Philippians‬ ‭4‬:‭5‬-‭9‬ — @yourspiritualbigsisのTikTok
