Job

My most important job is that of Mother.  There is no other job on earth that can compare to motherhood.  There is no other job so rewarding, hard, tiring, loving, exhausting, happy, joyful, angering, funny and fulfilling as a mother.  My girls are my entire world.  When I was a teenager, I thought I would easily have 4 to 6 kids.  I have always wanted to be a mother and knew I would never work outside the home when I had my own children so I could be there every step of the way.  I have loved children my whole life.  I remember as a 5-year old, all I wanted to do was hold babies and that desire has never left.  To this day, I seek moms who need a break during church and hold their babies for them.  I wanted a lot of kids and knew I could love them so easily.  My life has not turned out the way I thought it would.  I am so grateful for my biological girls but I know through adoption there are more children out there for me.  I don't know why Heavenly Father has decided this is the best route for me but I fully trust in Him and am trying to follow what He has asked me to do.  Adoption was not even on my radar until the last few years when I knew I couldn't have any more children naturally.  I had a very spiritual experience where I KNEW I was supposed to adopt.  It is a very scary decision for me but I know it is the right one for me and my family.  I know it will change my life for the better and am grateful for this.
