@corinnebowling: social media has slowly been stealing all my joy as I compare my motherhood journey to someone else’s. What I thought it was going to be and isn’t, what I thought postpartum was going to look like. Just know 3 months later I’m still trying to understand the purpose of this pain, but I know God will use me. #postpartum #postpartumjourney
Remember God handpicked YOU to be that sweet babies momma! Nobody else is more suited for that job than you. God will continue to equip you each day for what you need for yourself and your sweet babe. Call upon him and he will give you rest and strength. Hang in there! You’re doing amazing!! Hugs ❤️

I have good days and I have bad days, but everyday is HARD and everyday that I get out of that bed to take care of my son is strength from God. In the same way Jesus sacrificed Himself for the church, we as mothers do the same for our children. Motherhood is Holy. It is sacrificial. It is dying to yourself in the most selfless way to nurture and care for the most innocent. We are doing what God has called us to do and it is HARD, but during this season God is teaching me that we NEED hard to be fully dependent upon Him. Without pain, without struggle, without suffering… we begin to pray less. We begin to read His word less. We begin to think about Him less. We begin to forget Him. I’ve never struggled like this before… and yet I’ve never worked harder in my life to be closer to Him. I NEED him. & even in the middle of the chaos, in the middle of the suffering - He is STILL worthy of being praised. My baby is crying again? Thank you Lord for waking my baby up. My baby is hungry again? Thank you Lord for keeping him healthy and full. My baby doesn’t want to be put down? Thank you Lord for making Him feel safe with me. Perspective and praise has changed my brain chemistry. Am I perfect? No. Do I still ask “why?” some nights? Yes, but I have learned that gratitude and anxiety literally cannot coexist in the brain simultaneously - so I will be praising Him and counting my blessings through the storm. Through the depression. Through the chaos. Through the anxiety. He is so good. He is so faithful and He is so proud of us!!! You’re not alone mama. We got this. We will get through this season together!

As a mom who could have made this exact post 4 months ago, IT DOES GET BETTER!! So much better. I literally used to think what have I done? I know it doesn’t feel like it but you will look back one day and be so proud of how far you came❤️

As a mom of a 7 year old, I remember this vividly, it DOES get better, they don’t stay that age, that is not the rest of your life, you will sleep again, you will feel like yourself again 🫶🏼

It’s such a confusing time… I LOVE being with my baby 24/7 but man in struggling. I have no village and husband works longggg hours. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been while also being the saddest/tiredest I’ve ever been.

8 months in. It gets better. That baby is such a blessing — they will heal every worry or fear by their little grin that appears when you come in the room. It’s like no other answered prayer. I promise you, one day you will rejoice! Don’t worry, Jesus is all around you! 💛 It’s also okay to ask for help. Both can be true at the same time!!

I remember crying in the middle of the night while trying to soothe my fussy newborn. Feeling alone, exhausted, frustrated, overwhelmed. I promise little by little it will get easier.

3 months in and I cry multiple times a day. I can’t figure out how to get the old me back. I’ve been trying. I’m so angry at everything the I blow up then cry. It’s like everyday is on repeat.

You’ve got this momma ! It gets better ! I know you’re in the trenches right now … I have a 5m old and some days I’m still in them… but it gets easier and you will get more rest and eventually start feeling like yourself ( but also a new version of yourself ) it’s such a beautiful chapter 💕

Oh mama, hang in there 🤍 postpartum is the HARDEST thing I have ever experienced. Everyone says it gets better with time, and it does, but in the moment it feels like time is standing still. Just know you’re not alone!
