I became a mother at the age of 18 years old. If I had to explain my feelings at that time, I would say that I was unsure.ÊI was unsure what life would be like for the young life that was growing inside of me.ÊI was unsure of my parental abilities. I was unsure of my career. I was unsure of my relationship. I had never had a baby before, so I didn't know what to do. When the nurse handed my daughter to me, I was so full of excitement to see this tiny person, but also unsure of what and who I was.ÊWas I the right person she gave the baby to?ÊHad it been a mistake and I was carrying someone else's child?ÊMy first thought of motherhood was a huge ball of uncertainty.Ê
Can you relate to that mother?ÊÊThough I felt unsure, God called me to this test, and I had to answer the call and do what was necessary for this person who now depended on me.
