Seeking Out Mama Friends.

Motherhood is lonely. That statement, or as I would like to call it: fact, really surprised me as I became a mother. You hear about the joys of motherhood all the time and you may get a glimpse of the difficulties, but no one tells you it's lonely. Why would they? I don't think many mothers want to "scare" soon to be moms, so they don't always tell ya the tough stuff, but I think maybe us current mothers should be more honest. Being home alone all day (or even part of the day) with a baby (or 2,4,6+ kids) is tough on a mama and there are many moments that loneliness hits and those are the days and times I think we need each other. We can't do this whole "mamahood" thing alone. We need to connect to each other, lift each other up, and encourage each other to fulfill our God given purposes as mothers. I am seeking mamas to join in my "village". It doesn't matter if you stay home full time or you work full time or you're somewhere in between. It doesn't matter if the kids you have came out of you or they came into your life some other way. What does matter is that we spur each other on in this calling. I hope you find connection here. I hope you find women that you can relate to, that you can laugh with, that you can cry with, that you can pray for/with, and that you find out that you're not alone.
