Own Your Title of Mom

Are you someone's sister? Are you someone's friend? How about someone's daughter? I am all of those things! But most importantly, I am someone's mom. 2 someones as matter of fact. 2 little girls that deserve the best mom I can be, or better! Many mothers over the years have tried to be a friend to their child. Many have tried to be like a sister. But being a mom is the greatest gift God can give us, so why try being anything else to your children. Being a mom is giving your whole self. Being a mom is giving unconditional love. Having patience and strength, having courage and hope, make a mom a mom. Whether it be boys or girls, your job is to train your children. You have to make tough decisions and stand by them. You have to make the decisions and just wait to see if it worked. You have to set the guidelines and have the strength to stay by them. You must be brave and give them the experiences they need to grow, even if it means sleep away camp or crossing the street without you. Then you hope. You hope and you pray that you did it right, that you gave them what they need to do it, to live the life they are capable of. You are not their friend, you are their mom. You are not their sister, you are their mom. It is a privilege to be a mom. Own the title of MOM!
