Quite often, I, like most moms, find myself wondering if I am a good enough mother. I read so much online about these amazing women who have time to do things that I can not even fathom. I continue to look for comfort from my husband as I face this discouragement. I continually seek praise to know that I am doing what I should be. When I make dinner, I ask at least a few times every night, "Do you like it", "Is there too much garlic", "Does this taste burnt/under-cooked to you?". Quite honestly, I am a terrible cook. Just terrible, i'm getting better but when I watch my mother-in-law cook healthier, more appetizing meals, I get discouraged. I compare myself to other moms and I feel that i'm not good enough.
I read something the other day that i'm trying to apply to my life. God designs each mother to meet the needs of her children, just as us wives are designed as help meets for our husbands. I am taking comfort in the fact that I was designed to raise my children. God made me for this job, so I must be good enough!
Even though I am terrible cook, my husband and my daughter love me. We love, because he first loved us! Isn't that wonderful?!
I do the same from time to time! I think we just want to be the best wives & mothers we can possibly be.
