Mama of Many is truly a God send. I never realized the deficits I was operating in until they were brought to my attention by Sochia . I was physically and financially available to my children, but spiritually and emotionally detached. I was raising my kids as if they were already equipped with the tools to succeed in life, by doing the bare minimum, just to claim them on my taxes every year. I was mimicking every behavior of how I was raised. I was failing miserably at being a nurturer. I wasn’t pulling on my innate ability to care for my children. Instead I was worried about the wrong things and running the streets because metaphorically I was running from my issues. The issues that were so deep rooted that I didn’t want to talk about them. Instead I internalized all of the hurt , feelings of inadequacy, abandonment and anger I used to carry with me daily. Thank God for Grace and Sochia! I now have a different outlook on life and motherhood. Through prayer and her sensitivity to the voice of God, she has helped me discover a place of redemption, and reconciliation. She has ‘mommed me’ to no longer take these precious gifts from God for granted and maximize my time on assignment with them as their mother. I now hold them a little longer, hug them tighter, and say I Iove you more because I appreciate the opportunity to be able to do it . I am now much more confident in my parenting skills, and no longer play the role of big sister to my children. I know that we’re going to be ok because everyday I have breath in my body I have an opportunity to right any wrongs and use life’s experiences as teachable moments. Despite missing the mark yesterday, my affirmation for today will be Today I’ll be better, Today I’m wiser, and I have learned to change my perspective concerning life and its obstacles. I Could go on and on about Sochia’s and Mama of Many’s impact on my life…. it would be a book. My heart is full and I would be remiss if didn’t say thank you one thousand times over to the call on Sochia’s life and her diligence in sowing an abundance of time, wisdom, love and patience to me and my children!
