I had a wish in life. It was to be a mom. I remember on my first date with my husband, he asked what my goals were and I replied, "to be a mom." I new I wanted to be home, make dinner, clean the house, and do all of those Mom things. Well fast forward, we had a daughter and I went back to work. I always hoped and prayed my chance to be a "Mom" would come and it did not. I worked in a job I hated and found myself becoming more and more miserable. When or daughter was under 1 years old, my husband became a statistic. He lost his job. My anger grew and at that point I began to disconnect.
The decision was made for him to go back to school and I continue to work. The past few years my anger grew and I began to feel trapped. After all, my wish was so simple. I just wanted to be a mom. This is a struggle for me. I feel like I've been let down by God. I feel like my wish is so simple. What if anything can I do to make this happen.
I know right now there is one thing I can do. That is be Thankful.
Today I make a new wish. I will wish for a Thankful heart.
