Jesus Made My Life Better

I reminisce about my pre-child life when I don’t feel like parenting - all the places I have been to and things I have done without caring for a child. Some believe their children bring out the best in them. Some believe their children changed their life for the better. For me, I have been struggling with the “better” part because I have had many amazing experiences before having Hailey. She makes me laugh and I love the random kisses and “I love you, mama”… but sometimes it is so nice to dream about not being responsible for parenting.

Since my husband is leaving for a month again, I asked God to open my eyes and see how Hailey has made my life for the better. The Holy Spirit said, “She didn’t make your life better, Jesus did”. 

Jesus made my life better.

Knowing He saved me and turned my ashes into beauty.

Knowing He encouraged and guided me to opportunities that I never thought I would be capable of. He sees me.

Knowing only He could bring me peace when nothing else could.

Knowing He made me a mom because He knows this is the season that will allow me to write and lean on Him - more than ever.

He made my life better and everything else He has given me is a cherry on top.
