I am not just a wife; I am so much more than that.
I am not just a mom; I am so much more than that.
I am not just a cook; I am so much more than that.
I am not just a chauffeur; I am so much more than that.
I am not just a housekeeper; I am so much more than that.
I am not just an employee; I am so much more than that.
I am not just a boo-boo kisser; I am so much more than that.
So then what am I? I’m so glad you asked.
I am the daughter of The King.
I am intelligent.
I am a creator and an innovator.
I am a vessel through which life is brought.
I am bold yet humble.
I am beautiful.
I am a superhero.
I am a woman!
You see, before I became a wife or a mother or anyone of those other things that make me who I am, I was a woman. So often, I tend to forget who I once was, and get stuck in the day to day of being the “just a”. I find myself hearing other people discuss things that they are doing, and I think to myself that I am “just a…”. But this just isn’t true. I am and always will be an intelligent, beautiful, bold and unique woman. I will always be the creative daughter of The King. I can never loose sight of that. In the midst of my daily life, I have to remember her. I have to keep alive the woman who grew to become the wife, mom, chef, chauffer, boo-boo kisser etc. I have to cherish and nurture her. I have to fight for her. I have to love her. When I do this, I am no longer “just a”. When I do this, I am so much more than that!
