Dear Cuties,
This is a letter I wrote for you, back in March of 2025:
This has been a very hard week. I’m learning something new, and I forgot how overwhelming and humbling that can be. In the moments of stress, a quiet voice kept whispering all the ways I’m not enough… and I believed it for a while.
But something else came through too; a reminder from Scripture to be like children. I’ve always taken that to mean being full of wonder, trust, and joy. But this week, I saw it differently.
Children are constantly learning; how to use their voice, how to wait, how to fall and get back up, how to speak and when not to, who to trust and where to go. They constantly live in that vulnerable space of being new to everything.
And here I was… fumbling forward, frustrated and raw, realizing how rarely I let myself be new to anything.
As hard as this week has been, it’s cracked me open just enough to feel a bit more of what it’s like to be in your shoes. I’ve remembered how brave you are, how much grace you deserve.
And I’m so grateful for that.
Sincerely,
Mom
