I have mentioned before how I have struggled with motherhood. How I haven't adjusted to the roll as well as I thought I would. The last couple of months have been especially hard. Late last night I felt like I needed to go to the temple, so this morning I woke up really early and headed to the temple. As I sat pondering and reflecting, the topic of joy in motherhood and rejoicing in motherhood kept coming to mind. As I continued on with my day I tried to keep these thoughts in mind. I did pretty good, until Julian decided to wake up at 11:00 pm right in the middle of my movie and much needed down time. I struggled to get him to go to sleep but he was content throwing a fit on the ground whining crying, throwing himself on me, then throwing himself on the floor when I tried to pick him up. I started to loose it. Then Jamie came home from work, and took Julian to bed. I decided to go in my room and do some more pondering about motherhood. I found a great website called power of moms then I found a Mormon Message, which are great uplifting messages posted on YouTube, and I came across this amazing message about motherhood, I completley bawled during the entire thing. but I love the message so much. It was exactly what I needed to hear. I just wanted to share it1
