So here we are, I'm here to open up the forum for all the NO ONE EVER TOLD ME's...that would happen, to expect that, that I'd have to deal with that, etc. etc. etc. It doesn't have to be just motherhood. It can be marriage (airing on the side of non-malebashing comments, please), teenagers...need I say more, it doesn't matter....here I am and here you are to share our stories. It really does take a village ladies. I think about all my invaluable girlfriends that have gotten me through so much that my husband wouldn't have a clue how to handle and I say, THANK YOU...you have saved my sanity, you've made me a better mom, a better wife and you've helped me feel validated! What an awesome gift!!!! Thank you LORD for the friends in my life. I hope I've been as good of a friend to you as you have been to me.
And I hope now that we can travel this journey together. To turn to each other when we are embarrassed to tell anyone else that such and such is going on. That we can rely on each other in a way that only the anonymous can provide...a way to confide without feeling exposed, a way to relate without feeling judged, a way to build each other at the times we need it the most, and a way to laugh at ourselves when we are taking ourself too seriously...afterall, we aren't perfect wives or mothers or sisters or daughters or employees or employers, but we can help each other become closer to the image that GOD made us in and continue to grow.
That is my goal for us all, to become better women. Lord knows, I need all the help I can get. The question is, do you feel the same and are you in it with me?
