The thoughts of motherhood and parenting is quite exciting for me, especially when I see the little humans in my care gradually transform from infant to toddler and then a child. Soon enough teenager and then adult.

It’s amazing how God does these things. We don’t see them grow, yet everyday they grow.

Our roles as mothers has it such that many times we are so pre occupied with our duties and work so much that we ignore a very important part of our lives. 

The motherhood journey is an interesting one. One that can totally bury us from fulfilling our God given assignment here on earth.

I realized from the very start of this year, there has been a very deep hunger in my spirit. The hunger to step out beyond my duties to the greater assignment I was created for. Frankly, I am no longer comfortable and satisfied with the excuse of “But Lord the Children, the Home, Work”. As genuine as those excuses are, our reason for being alive transcends those.

What is your purpose here on earth? What are you alive for? To get married and have kids? To have a great job and a superb income? I doubt!

What is that thing God has strongly laid in your heart to do?

It’s not too late to start. It’s better that it’s started late, than not done at all. Let the people whose lives we are meant to affect not suffer because of our complacency.

No matter the height we attain, even if we reach the pinnacle of our careers, no matter how well we think we are raising our children, we can never truly have that fulfillment we long for, unless we are among those that trivialize the things of God.

We are women, we are mothers, regardless, there’s a purpose for which we were created.

My fulfillment comes from the place of knowing that the assignment I was sent on earth for was done.

So help us today Lord. For those of us mothers that do not know our purpose, please lay it in our hearts. For as many of us that know yet have been complacent, please help us to begin to do that which you brought us here on earth for.

In Jesus name, Amen!
