Motherhood is my God-Given Purpose

I am not “just a mom.”

I’m God’s handiwork—His masterpiece.

I am fearfully and wonderfully made with a purpose that He has laid out for me.

Yes, my days are mundane and my degree is hanging on the wall, not being used.

But I am caring for God’s children every day.

I’m changing diapers and wiping boogers from noses.

I’m singing nursery rhymes and teaching ABCs and 123s.

I feel like a maid some days and I avoid laundry.

But I’m raising the next generation of disciples.

There are only two toddlers I report to every day and they are far more demanding than the demands of an office.

But I’m furthering God’s kingdom every day, in a million different ways.

No, I’m not “just a mom.”

Motherhood is my God-given purpose.

It’s my calling.

And it’s the best job I’ve ever had.
