Conference
General conference has hit a strong nerve with me. Right now, my biggest desire is to be a mom. There have been a few talks about parenthood and the importance of being good parents who teach their kids starting at a young age. Elder Perry's talk specifically has had a huge effect on me. Having children is a scary thought, but I've always wanted kids so it never bothered me too much. After the talks I've heard, I still want kids, but I've now realized what a huge roll a mom plays in the lives of her kids. It seems more daunting to me than ever before. How can anyone manage it? I know that you just have to do what you can and have faith that you taught them to the best of your ability and that all will be well. I still want to have children, but now I know the huge weight of responsibility that will be placed on me when that happens. I believe that I am ready for that now. I'm mostly just rambling, but I needed to get my thoughts out about this. I'm not looking for responses or anything. This post is more for me than for others.

I know you are not posting for responses, but I just want to tell you that even with the heavy load you feel now, it is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. Sure, I've messed up a few times along the way, but just pick up again and keep going.
ReplyDeleteI dont know if there are more resources now than what was available just 14 years ago, or if I just got better with age on locating them.... but the internet is full of helpful tools to teach your child with, a whole world of resources to parent your child in the church. its amazing.
You'll do great Jess.
