One of my dearest friends was on the platform and one sentence she said in her message changed my life.“Sometimes you have to do it scared.”Almost every time I have said yes to God I’ve had to do it scared.Scared of the “what if’s.”What if I’m wrong?What if I fail?What if I succeed?What if I totally mess everything up?What if this is more than I can handle?During my last two pregnancies I wasn’t a happy pregnant person.In fact, it was one of the most difficult times in my life.

One verse that has been such an amazing testament in my life these past few months has been Hebrews 12:1, “Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw of everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us…” To know that I am surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses that have run this motherhood race before me is so encouraging and inspiring. Ecclesiastes says that ‘there is nothing new under the son’ and motherhood certainly isn't anything new!
