6 Real Reflections on Ten Years of Motherhood
Letter #10: The One Where I Suddenly Had a 10-Year-Old.
Dear friend,
How are you? And how is your heart?
December is the month of birthdays in my household. Life decided that all three of my children would just have to be born in the same month as me and Jesus. By the third pregnancy, it had become a running joke (where I was secretly crying inside!), although now, it does fill my heart with joy that my little tribe share this special time of the year with me.
Four birthdays in the busiest season of the year, in addition to running a small business in Q4, plus homeschooling and house-holding, results in December being nothing short of hectic, leaving me with very little time or space to write.
And in all honesty, with all that’s happening in the world and bearing witness to the genocide in Palestine, life has been a lot lately. Just this constant heaviness and heartbreak, so much so that despite having so much to say, I haven’t really been able to say anything at all. But alas, the world does not stop revolving, as much as we may want it to, and we are pushed into continuing to move along with it. And I must continue to write, as we all must continue to do the things that move rivers within us.
