I look at you sitting there, and I wonder.
What an unbelievable gift it is to be your mom.
I wonder who you’ll become.
I wonder what dreams are already growing inside your heart.
I wonder what ideas are quietly taking shape behind those little shoulders.
I notice the way you say things.
The way you solve problems.
The questions you ask.
The kindness you show when no one is watching.
I wonder if you have enough…
or if I’ve given too much.
If I’ve missed something…
or somehow gotten it just right.
Motherhood is filled with wondering.
We wonder if they’re okay.
If they’ll be brave enough.
If they’ll know how deeply they’re loved.
If they’ll carry the lessons we tried so hard to teach.
And then I remember…
Most of motherhood isn’t about having all the answers.
It’s about paying attention.
It’s about sitting close enough to notice.
It’s about loving them through every question, every season, every version of who they’re becoming.
So today, I’ll keep wondering.
But more than that…
I’ll keep watching in awe.
Because getting to witness your story unfold is one of the greatest gifts of my own.
🤍 Be brave, little one. The world is waiting for exactly who you were created to be.
