Clouds and Motherhood by Stacy Duplease of Stories by Stacy

Clouds are Hard Times, Difficulties, Challenges, Anything that Tarnishes:
As a mother-to-be, I cannot imagine how difficult it must be to go through the clouds of life and try to be the best mom you can be. How is it even possible? Then, when you fail to be the best mom you can be because of the hard times, how do you move forward and try not to beat yourself up too much with guilt?

How do YOU do it? Let me know.

My plans of handling the clouds while being a mother:
Granted, plans often go astray. But, I hope to not cover up the clouds of life, but show my child how to live through the hard times and carry on with life through them--no matter how difficult.

I don't want to shelter my child too much. They need to know life is tricky and can hurt. However, there is a fine line in not wanting to give them paranoia or stress.

I'm starting to get nervous just thinking about the responsibility of motherhood. I guess prayer and God's guidance are a huge factor here.

Dreams

I got this saying from a Hallmark card years ago and wanted to share it with you:

Each dream within your heart,
lies within reach
if you just believe in yourself.

What a thought to share with our families and to implement personally.

So, dream. Dream big. See it through. Believe not only in yourself, but have faith. Lean on God and pray a lot.

What a wonderful thing to teach children.

Prayer and Support

I hope that this blog can also be a way to help people connect and pray for one another and to support one another. Do you have any prayer requests? Let me know.
