Mom at the Age of 23

          I'm outside on this windy day on my phone because I still have no computer. If it doesn't make sense I'm sorry but I had to get some of it out. In honor of Mother's day, I'm going to write an entry about moms.  Now most of you might be thinking what do you know about being a mom. I don't know everything but I know some especially when they aren't your own children.
            I have some verses that you can look up.  Sorry I can't write them out for you all. They are: biologically-Gen. 9:7, adoptively psalm 82:3, and spiritually Matthew 28:19. I feel like I have been a mom since the age of 23. How? you might ask. I started my journey as a spiritual mom for children in TX over a spring break in college to last summer in Guatemala. Now I'm doing it adoptively through my job.
           Some might say "still you have no idea". I don't want to start anything this is just another point of view.  A point of view that gets me through my day.  At my job,  I do clean after them, put them to bed, give them their baths, and most importantly I'm there for them when no one else will be everyday.  That's why I hate missing work a lot. I'm there to play and love on them and keep them safe. I remind them of that often.
         Now, don't get me wrong. I would love to have a family of my own to take care of but for now I am content and happy with this. Of  course,  that is the next step in my life.  The next desire of new my heart. I'm blessed where I am and I need to see and spend time in it before I move on. In a way,  God is really preparing me to be not a great mom, but a good mom. God is showing me my mistakes and telling me those are ok and you have to put a lot of trust in Him to with children. I could have children all their lives for 18 years and honestly I would whether have that then only 3 months. Trust is the big thing God is teaching me now as I am letting go of my group of 4 children that I had mainly by myself.
           I can be a single foster parent if that is another thing God is calling me to do because children are my passion. I would whether help children then worrying about marriage. It's a hard call but God will lead me when and where He wants me to be in His Time.

                        Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there whether you have your own  children or not. :)
