Growing up, I never realized just how much my Mama probably worried.
I knew she was overprotective; I was her only child after all. But I never realized just how much a mother had to worry about until I became a mother myself.
The minute I held that little swaddled lump, I instantly knew life was no longer the same.
Things that I didn’t even give a second thought were suddenly terrifying and anxiety producing.
I did all the child-proofing imagined, crawling around on my hands and knees, looking at things from not just the eyes of a curious child, but from the perspective of a mother seeing possible dangers.
A mama’s faith
