Waiting through the struggle (Bonus post)



🔥A short story for those who feel lost, and no longer have hope🔥Please just hold on, as I hold on as well. ❤️🙏


The Sun says to the clouds, "Why do you look so full of anger today?" The Cloud responds, "Well I have alot of tears that needs to be released, but I was told it's not time for the rain yet." The Sun responded, "Well we were created to do as we are told. We hold no power in ourselves." The cloud replies, "But do you see that woman right there? She needs the rain so she can cry her tears." "Nope," says the Sun, "she must wait. She was created to wait on others as well as nature, so she must be patient." It finally rains so the cloud is free of his anger. The woman is grateful for the rain. She sits in the rain and contemplates her life, wondering why her life feels robotic and stagnant. She cries a painful sob from deep within. She's grateful that it didn't rain the other day because if it had rained, she would have ended it all. She no longer cared about people, because no one cared for her. She felt hopeless, drained, and lost all empathy she once carried inside. She felt she was The Scarecrow, The Tin Man,  and The Lion all at once, with no brain, no heart, or no courage. So had it rained that day, she would stand out in the ocean and wait for the strike of lighting to hit her. The Sun explained this to the cloud and he understood the importance of waiting. Had he moved earlier than what he was told, he would have played a role in her death. So even though it was raining today, she now has a better perspective on life and will go forward to maintain the things she feels she lacks. The end🙏

Isolation in motherhood



I've been very quiet lately. Life has taken over and I have a lot on my plate. Being a stay-at-home wife and homeschooling mother takes alot of strength and courage. It has many up and down days, and also many lonely days. I have realized that this role is not for the faint-hearted, and at times I have fallen into this category of being faint. Most people don't understand the whys behind this lifestyle but are quick to judge you very harshly. Not every day is sunshine and roses. There are days when I just want to think of nothing, but that is impossible when there are responsibilities that need to be taken care of. So at times, I get really quiet and just stop. Without support and I mean real support from other wives and mothers it can be really hard. So, I humbly ask the next time you see a mother who may look exhausted, and want to reach out to you, maybe try to listen and have empathy for her. Alot of people only see the outside of motherhood but don't see what's going on the inside because no one cares how you are doing. Hug that sister and tell her everything will be okay in time. Just know wife and mom I see you, I understand you, and I hope that you see me too❤️🌷
