Sorry, with the holidays approaching I haven't had much time to update this blog. CLick here for another great and uplifting talk. This one is by Jean Knight Pace entitled "The Joyful Surprise of Motherhood." Here is my favorite part of the talk.
"Myth number one: Before you have children, you need to do everything else in life that is important to you, because after you become a mother, you’ll never be able to do that again."
"This is the most common thing I heard in the later stages of my pregnancy. What a terrifying phrase—“never be able to do that again”—as if I were going to have a terrible and disabling accident instead of becoming responsible for one of Heavenly Father’s spirit children."
I cannot even begin to count the number of times I heard this while pregnant. It really got me scared to have a baby. I honestly thought I would never do anything for myself again. I was lucky enough to be doing some research on motherhood before having my daughter and I cam across this talk. It helped me realize how much society and the church really differ and what matter's most is what our prophets have taught us.
