I&...can I PLEASE send you a big cyber (((hug)))!!! I'm soooo grateful for reading your words & I'm truly moved in so many ways...thank you! <br /><br />"It’s about looking at the mom next to you and loving her in her brokenness and encouraging her to keep going."<br /><br />This is exactly what you have done tonight for me. As I sit here in my brokenness, sick & tired of the story in my head that constantly tells me 'I am NOT enough', I can finally tell it to shut the hell up!! Sorry to be so blunt but as a single foster mum to 4 young girls (2 sibling sets, aged 7, 9, 10 & 12 yrs), I am always aware of the quite voice of society telling me I am not good enough. I'm not the girls natural mum, I've never even given birth so how the heck can I know what it's like to really love a child???...I struggle with money yet I'm using all of my savings & uni scholarships towards building the girls their own home...I'm single - not married but divorced...AND so the story in my head goes! BUT I as I do the school run everyday, put healthy meals on the table & tuck the girls into bed every night, I hear a different story. <br />"I love you Mumma". <br />Then I stop & listen to truth. I am enough...MORE than enough!! I am the only one raising these girls, making the best decisions for all 4 of their tiny little lives...in all of my brokenness. <br />And when I remember that, I not only believe but know I AM strong. Powerful. <br />And human. ~ Lisa xoxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16230532261589312141noreply@blogger.com
