Motherhood

Being a mother of one with another one on the way, I have been thinking a lot lately about what it actually means to me to be a mother, and what I want my focus to be in the coming years. I was reading Ann Voskamp's blog yesterday and I came upon this gem that expresses so well what I want to remember every day of my mothering journey. (If it sounds familiar that is because it is a variation on a sentiment expressed by Mother Theresa.)

You are doing something great with your life - when you're doing all the small things with His great love. You are changing the world - when you are changing one person's world.

-Ann Voskamp, A Holy Experience
