Yes, Me Too!
The gift of relationships and relating.
Over the past year, I have had countless conversations with other mothers, asking about any question you could think of. I must say I don’t have much of a filter when it comes to asking questions, but I have learned that the best relationships I have, are with those who I don’t have to worry about asking the “wrong” questions.
Those relationships where I can say YES, ME TOO!
Motherhood sure makes you unsure about yourself, like am I making the right decision to take her into the doctor? Am I feeding her the right foods? Am I creating the best environment for my daughter to thrive in? Am I setting an example of who Christ is?
There are so many questions that I have everyday. Some I figure out the answers to, some I just let rest and let God. Some I vocalize, some I don’t. But some of those questions that I do vocalize, I often hear other mothers say “YES, ME TOO” and vice versa.
God has given us others to live life with. To enjoy life with. To walk life with. To say yes, me too, with. I now ask myself the question – am I vulnerable enough to say, yes, me too, or does pride get in the way, by trying to prove that I have it all together (when I clearly don’t).
Since Mazy has turned one, I have thought a lot about the past year and how God has used her to change my life. And change my life for the better in every way. And in reflecting on the past year, I realize that I know less and less, but find myself saying “yes, me too” all the more, as I continue to relate with other mothers.
This life is a journey and God has given us relationships for a reason – to give us a glimpse of the love that Christ has for us. I am sure you have heard it said that someone was “Jesus with skin” to that person, meaning a representation of who Christ is. I have had many people in my life, that have been Jesus with skin, who have been those “yes, me too” friends (and family).
Those relationships, I am so thankful for. Those relationships that I can say “yes, me too”.
Who in your life is your yes, me too, friends? Take a moment to praise God for them – they are not in your life by a mistake!
