Being a mother and a wife may prove to be difficult but it is possible. My journey through it all has been very exciting so far and I pray that all mothers and all wives make it through the journey of womanhood. It makes me wonder where are those aunties that would advise us of some of our responsibilities in life, or maybe they should just start a college on training people to be real mothers and real wives.
As a mother you are expected to make sure the food is cooked, the house becomes a home for everyone, every member of the family is in good health, the children are brought up in the best way possible and above all you need to enjoy life.
As a wife you are expected to meet all the needs of the husband – to share your life with him and to be his complement; to enjoy his company.
As an individual you may have dreams on your own. These could be health goals, educational goals, entrepreneurial goals, spiritual goals and the list goes on.
In order to live the life to the fullest, you need to be able to balance it all up and enjoy your experiences. Prioritize and learn how to be content with your situation. Contentment helps you accept the circumstances around you. A content person will take her fair share of the load of life with courage and with a positive attitude.
Contentment does not kill the drive to excel but it helps you pursue your drive in a more sober fashion rather than making decisions in the heat of the moment, only to stop pursuing it after encountering a mere mole hill in your way. It is known that we achieve more when we do things in the right frame of mind.
Contentment can be learnt by realizing you can control so much around you and nothing more. Contentment means you can handle pressure from every angle without breaking down. Contentment means you value life as it is given to you by God and you understand that He is in control even in your darkest nights.
May God help you be content so that you may enjoy life to the fullest.
Phillipians 4:11 “Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, [therewith] to be content.”
