Follow along with Kate Motaung and other writers in a five minute prompt. You will be surprised and what comes out in five minutes
Follow
The concept of follow in mothering is one that inspires and
terrifies me. Follow me, an imperfect,
sometimes grumpy person who is trying, still trying through every day. Trying to be better, to teach, to learn, to
help these four wild and exuberant children to follow Jesus. It’s a mind boggling thought. That anybody can choose to have
children. That most people can say, “I
want a baby.” And they have a baby. And
that Heavenly Father, a loving, merciful, just God would allow His special
spirits to come to Earth, through us and allow us to raise them. In hopes, in
endless faith that we will raise them right and righteously and happily. That we will make their 18 years in our homes
a good, a pleasant, a hard working, a peaceful experience. That we will do our best every day and start
again every morning, no matter how tired, burnt out, frustrated we are. That we will try again. So, I hope that I have left an example that
is one worthy of following. One that
will guide my children when they are raising their children and their children
are raising their children and so on.
And they will have desire to follow what I set forth. And what I set
forth is hopefully a good thing.
