Not a day goes by that I don’t sincerely thank God for the ministry of motherhood. I often think to myself, “I have the best job in the world!” But, if I’m being honest, it is also true that rarely a day goes by that I don’t day dream of being more…

When Plans Fail
I failed at being a mom before I even had the chance to hold my baby. I concluded I was an unfit mother and laid my plans to have children to rest… But God.
