The Most important work

In Seventeen years Evelynne will be twenty and Liya will be eighteen. They  will be grown up into the women that God has created them to be. They will be beautiful, strong, confident and Jesus will be their everything.

Maybe they'll be going to college, traveling the world, fulfilling  their dreams or maybe even get married to the men God has for them. *tear

In Seventeen years I do not want to have to admit that I could have done a better job as a mother.

 I don't want to wait until my daughters are grown to come into the realization that I was just getting by as a mom. That thought terrifies me.

I want this calling on my life to come 3rd to God second to Marriage and before anything else. Ministry, friends or even "me time"

These seventeen years of my daughters being at home are years that need to be cherished, thought about, and taken advantage of because once they're gone that's it. My girls aren't getting any younger and the time I have to teach them, raise them, discipline them,  encourage them and love them before they meet the world isn't getting any longer. In fact it's going to go by quicker then I can imagine. It already has.

Thinking that eighteen years of a child's life will go by slowly is a mistake that is made by many mamas.. And that is the #1 thing that they tell you when you're pregnant/new mama.

"It goes by fast so cherish them" 

These are the years I have to train, teach,disciple, and influence my baby girls. Years that I won't get back so I need to make the decision quickly.

"Will I spend 90 % of my time raising my daughter today or watching other people raise their kids on media and showing everyone how I raise my kids on media?"

I have made the decision  that while my girls are awake and in my care I will not be affiliated with media (including texting and phone calls)  Unless it's an emergency or my husband. :)

I don't want to be a mama who looks back and realized that  I had just  gotten by as a mama.

But I want to give these girls the best 18 years of their life teaching them and allowing Jesus to use me fully to shape Evelynne and Liya into the Women of God they'll be.

I no longer want to compromise in motherhood but instead I want to be 100% after my girls (And future childrens) heart. I want to show my love for them with my time and availability.

These are seventeen years I have with my girls.. And maybe they won't go as fast as many say.. But I'm not taking the chance. This is my calling. I am 100% called to be a mom and if I'm lacking in my mothering how can I encourage other moms as well.. I can't.. I just can't.

My girls comes first folks.. In ministry, blogging, and all that jazz. If I don't have time to get a post in because I was too busy loving on them and teaching them I'm sorry  I'm really not sorry but I do hope you understand.

                                               

Disclaimer: I'm totally not saying mommy time isn't important because It's a Mama need.You need to enjoy your kids to the fullest and you can't do that at it's best if you lose yourself. Also, house cleaning. mommy time and other things are all apart of motherhood. So don't feel bad if you have to take  an hour to clean or have mommy time while your kids play independently. That's important for both them and you!! :)
