My first Official Mother's Day

My Husband and I have been together for the last 5 years and he came with 3 beautiful little girls. The oldest two

stay with us on the weekends. So I had an instant family when we got together. However, I didn't really know where I fit in. I would do what I was asked but never felt comfortable just stating my opinion. I didn't know if it was my place.

We got married last year and our union just worked everything out. Don't get me wrong I had no problem saying they needed to clean up, take showers, be nice to each other. Just bigger things like how they spoke to their mom and dad, or things they would tell me about school or friends. Marriage set me in my rightful place. Momma mode came out immediately lol.

All the healing and growth God has been putting me through. I was now able to correct in love, and maybe that is why I couldn't address anything before. I was able to have a greater empathy for them even in their bad decisions and advice them of how their decisions could lead them wrong.

Yesterday God brought it full circle. I was getting ready for church and as I walked out of the bathroom. They came walking up the step with a balloon, roses, and a heartfelt letter from each of them, telling me who I am to them. To read they are grateful to have a second mother. Y'all the tears began to fall like waterfalls. I couldn't stop them. I told them they have no idea how I thank God for them. God knew I was worried about becoming a mother and being capable of being everything I needed to be. As much as I thought God would not have gave me a man that did not wait on me to have children. God always knows better I did not only to see him in this roll. I also needed to see me in this active roll. God gave me my bonus babies to teach me to trust myself as a mother.
