Hello ladies,
It is another beautiful week, and today I feel inspired to share a personal experience that truly changed the direction of my life.
Motherhood is such a precious gift from God, but the responsibilities that come with it can sometimes feel heavier than we could ever imagined. After the birth of my second child, life became more challenging than expected. My 3-month maternity leave ended so quickly, and before I knew it, I had to resume work with my baby.
Going to work every day with a newborn was one of the hardest seasons of my life. It was stressful for both of us, but as a mother who wanted the best for her children and also needed to support her husband in this tough economy, I kept pushing.
With time, I adjusted physically. I created a routine, managed the workload, and tried my best to balance everything. But the real struggle was not my stress, it was how my baby could cope.
No matter what I did, he could not adapt to the schedule. The constant stress made him fall sick often, and watching him like that broke my heart. I tried other options of care for my baby so I could continue to work, but all of that could not help my little one to grow as an healthy child.
One morning, after another long night of worry, I woke up and made a bold decision: I quit my job.It was not the easiest choice, but at that moment, it was the best option.
I chose my child’s health over everything else, and that decision has shaped the health, active, and mental strength of the child am raising today.
The experience was not easy, but I realized that sometimes, being responsible means making sacrifices that hurt in the moment but heal us in the long run.
Life will always present us with tough choices, but choosing peace, choosing family, and choosing what truly matters will always be worth it.
