If I Could Start Motherhood Again

Two Things I’d Do Differently If I Could Start Motherhood Again

By

From this vantage point, with my oldest leaving the nest, getting ready to start her adult life as a married woman, and my youngest just shy of turning sixteen, I have perspective on what I would do differently as I’ve come to see the truly sacred work of motherhood. God designed the relationship between mother and child as one to provide the kind of emotional AND physical security that lays the foundation for development.  Studies upon studies show the impact an emotionally engaged and present mama has on her child.

Hungry for Home with Ruth McKeaney {Podcast #705}

Home. That word can elicit a range of different emotions. For some, the idea of home brings about feelings of family traditions, loved ones, or the place they always want to come back to. For others, the thought of home simply hurts, with disappointments, heartbreaks, and unattainable expectations.

Have you ever said, “if only I could go back and tell myself ______”? Or thought to yourself, “If only I had known!”? Well, you’re not alone, sister. Far too often we find ourselves wondering if things would be different today if we had made different choices twenty years ago. We see our children, grandchildren, nieces, and nephews growing up and wishing we could shake them into not making the same mistakes that we did.
