Maybe it’s the heaviness of guilt over your less than moments or the reality of a long and challenging road ahead.
Maybe it’s because you have so many emotions inside you that some need to be cried out to make room for more.
Maybe it’s simply because your heart is overjoyed and full of gratitude for the life God’s given you.
Momma, whatever it is that has tears streaming down your face, you’re not alone.
At some point or another, we are all sitting in the dark, crying in the stillness. It’s in these sacred spaces that motherhood and all it represents lives and breathes. This holy ground is where we learn to appreciate one another’s profound journey. Where we pray for our own strength and guidance and wish it for others.
Here in this place, we sit next to one another in collective spirit, wiping away the anguish from each other’s faces and celebrating the immeasurable joys of this role we share.
You are not alone, Momma.
Although our personal experiences are each unique, our hearts beat to the same soul-bending and life-giving drum.
