Cultivating a Mother's Heart
Having a mother's heart without having children. I believe that you don't have to bear children to have a mother's heart. After 12 years of marriage and countless years of trying, I've discovered that the Lord has given me the opportunity to cultivate a mother's heart. How can that be though if I've never bore my own children? Stretch marks, labor pain, and sleepless nights and all. You see, infertility has given me a wider perspective and understanding that things take time and I'm not the one that is in control of time. As much as I desire having my own children, its the season of barrenness that I've been in that has given me perspective on such beauty. Such beauty that I've found in the desert. Because of the lack of children in our lives, as a family, I've found a love that I could never have imagined. A love that receives and embraces every child as blessing from God. A gift that is rare to those of us who spend sleepless nights
