Teach your children to choose the right path, and when they are older, they will remain upon it. ~ Proverbs 22:6
If you know me it probably comes to no surprise that I would share scripture on motherhood. I am expecting my second son the beginning of December. As I spoke in my testimony, it is crucial to me that my boys have a solid foundation in the Lord.
Being a mother is a very important role that the Lord chooses to give to many women. The Bible never states that every woman should be a mother. However, it does say that those whom the Lord blesses to be mothers should take the responsibility seriously. Mothers have a unique and crucial role in the lives of their children. Motherhood is not a chore or unpleasant task. Just as a mother bears a child during pregnancy, and just as a mother feeds and cares for a child during infancy, so mothers also play an ongoing role in the lives of their children, whether they are adolescents, teenagers, young adults, or even adults with children of their own. While the role of motherhood must change and develop, the love, care, nurture, and encouragement a mother gives should never cease.
I love that my GrandMOTHER took extra time to make sure that we had a strong Christian foundation. She knew that one day all her hard work and teachings would pay off and I must say looking at all of us now she really out did herself and has made God very proud. I want that for my boys and my grandchildren one day.
The thing that I love the most is my Grandmother, my mother and myself are ALL active Christians and it gives me great comfort to know that I can call on them for guidance and encouragement and they are quick to pray for me and most importantly pray with me. I pray that I am just that for my boys when they get older and I encourage all you women to pray for your children and with your children often.

Thank you Kim for that message. It was such a blessing to me. My biggest struggle has been being a mom and a grandmother, as my mother before me. When the family structure has a foundation of not believing and no direction, it is sinking sand. I pray that my belief in God will guide my children and my grandchildren through His word and His spirit in them. I hope that I will see the change in my family before I pass from this world.
