Did you ever wonder why your life unfolded the way it did? I sure have. I've pondered the mystery many times. I am a mother. That much is obvious. God entrusted me with seven of His creations. How is God to use my abundant fertility to make a difference in this world? Well, aside from trying to raise my seven seeds to become good and God fearing people, I have discovered another possible explanation for the path my life has taken.
I am helping a mommy to be through her pregnancy journey and getting her prepared for motherhood. Not an easy task when I reflect on my own journey. This girl, not yet an adult, is on her own. She has nothing but the knowledge that this baby she carries is a gift. Thank God she does see it as that. Many teenagers do not. Yet, she is far from being ready to handle all that the role of mother forces on unsuspecting women. Even the most prepared woman is shell shocked at the reality that they are solely responsible for such a fragile being. No matter how precious our little bundles of joy are, there are days when we sob tears of failure and frustration. I remember this feeling and want to prepare her for it and all of the hundred other feelings that bombard our post partum minds.
Over the next six months, this girl (we will call her A) and I will work toward getting her what she needs to survive the next six months and beyond. Because we all know that the hard part does not end when we finally give birth...it is just beginning.

This is such a beautiful journey! I am definitely looking forward to the unfolding of this beautiful experience.
Kadi, there's a crown waiting for you! NEVER forget that!
You have a huge heart to take on this journey alongside your busy life. A is lucky to have you!
What a flipping awesome idea and to blog about it even more genius. Hopefully other "would be" Moms can benefit from your experience. Definitely adding this to the ol' blog roll.
I'm so excited for this...I know it is going to bless you so much! And I think this is awesome that we can ALL share with you & A!
I am looking foward to reading the journey, Kadi. Being a teenage mom myself (I was 16 when I had my son who is now 13) I know first hand on what it was like. I even got married to the father when I was 15 (I was 4 months pregnant) and am proud to say we will be celebrating our 14th Anniversary in December.
What a great thing to be a part of one day I hope I can influence somebody in the way that you are :)
what a great idea, thats so sweet of you, and a blog to keep all updated too smart thinking.
